Reviews"Clearly, tightly and gracefully written, Spalding's volume is a marvel of compression... Readers who want an extraordinary account of an extraordinary archdiocese should run like all get-out to the nearest bookstore for Spalding's quiet masterpiece."--Joseph Gallagher, Baltimore Evening Sun, "Brother Spalding's research is extraordinary and accurate... [The Premier See] is a 'top of the line' book that belongs in the collection of every serious historian of the Free State." -- Father Michael Roach, Catholic Review, "The Premier See, the first comprehensive history of the Archdiocese of Baltimore to be published, makes a major contribution to understanding the evolution of Catholicism and religious culture in this country... Author Thomas W. Spalding... provides engaging, balanced portraits of Baltimore's archbishops, and he does not shy away from assessing their strngths and weaknesses as human beings and religious leaders." -- William P. Leahy, S.J., Journal of American History, "This history reads like a novel, informs like a textbook and, like a good homily, provides much food for thought. This history shows the church coming to grips with itself and the world around it."--Daniel Medinger, National Catholic Reporter

SynopsisWhen John Carroll became bishop of Baltimore in 1789, his diocese encompassed what was then the United States, from the Chesapeake to the Mississippi, from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. For almost a century and a half, the archbishop of Baltimore remained the virtual leader of his church in the new republic. In The Premier See, Thomas W. Spalding chronicles the growth, tensions, and politics of the archdiocese that helped shape the history of American Catholicism.
