About Jean-Baptiste Lamy
Jean-Baptiste Lamy (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ batist lami]; October 11, 1814 – February 13, 1888), was a French-American Catholic prelate who served as the first Archbishop of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Willa Cather's novel Death Comes for the Archbishop is based on his life and career (albeit renamed to "Jean-Marie Latour" for artistic license), as is Paul Horgan's nonfiction work Lamy of Santa Fe. He sometimes anglicised his name to John Baptist Lamy.
