Zone du contenu et de la structure

Portée et contenu

In preparing his book, Pilgrims of Iowa, published in 1911, Truman Douglass compiled extensive biographical information about Congregational ministers in Iowa up to 1900. He had hoped to publish this material in additional volumes to his book, but left only a typed manuscript.  The preface in volume I suggests further sources for information about some of the ministers.

Mode de classement

The 13 bound volumes are in chronological order. An alphabetical index is in an extra volume with the set, and a copy is appended to the print inventory.
