 Father Pierre-Jean DeSmet
Author: Ken Rasmussen

"Traveling in his fowing cassock and carrying a silver clarinet, for many tribes he personified the idea of the Black Robe." I copied the preceding words from a community newspaper called "The Monthly", printed in NE Washington State. Father DeSmet was a Jesuit priest, who traveled widely in the NW United States while converting the "Heathen". I suspect that he may have carried a coronet, and that the author was confused, but who knows? Does anyone have any information about this?

If the good father carried a coronet he probably got tired rather quickly.
Were silver clarinets not available in the early 1800s?
