Bernard Ducrot is a young priest from Auvergne, France, who arrives to New Mexico in Latour’s final years. Ducrot acts almost as a personal assistant to Latour, who feels that the young man shares many of his best traits and is almost like “a son” to him. In addition to providing stability and routine through Latour’s dying weeks, Ducrot also offers Latour some much-needed companionship as the aging priest struggles to cope with his friend Vaillant’s death.

For many years Father Latour used to wonder if there would ever be an end to the Indian wars while there was one Navajo or Apache left alive. Too many traders and manufacturers made a rich profit out of that warfare; a political machine and immense capital were employed to keep it going.
