Extract

Beginnings of the Slovenian ethnic research in America go back to the first known Slovenian settler in the New World, Mark Anton Kapus (1657–1717), a Jesuit of Kamna Gorica, Slovenia, who was active as a missionary and explorer in what is now Mexico and Arizona, in the years between 1687 and 1717. Although writings by Kapus and his co-authors Kono and Mangus deal primarily with their early explorations of relatively unknown territories and Indian peoples, they supplement other preserved records and correspondence in providing a description of the life and work of this first known Slovenian settler in America.
