Quotes by and about Orestes Brownson (1803-1874):

"Orestes Augustus Brownson is the Catholic thinker par excellence of the United States. There are no rivals." R.A. Herrera, *Orestes Brownon: Sign of Contradiction*, p. xviii.

"Brownson believed he had ben put in a corner, defending his right to be an American against Catholics and his right to be a Catholic against Americans." R.A. Herrera, p. 190.

"Thoreau spoke of Brownson with greater admiration than for any other writer. \[Thoreau's\] profound love of nature was inspired by Brownson and not Emerson." Herrera, p. 30.

"In Brownson's mind a religious minority like the Catholic community could not long survive with its own distinctive religious traditions in a society that was thoroughly Protestant and, therefore, it had to be constantly reminded of the unbridgeable gulf that separated Catholicism from Protestantism." Patrick Carey, *Orestes Brownson: American Religious Weathervane*.
