Content and structure elements
Bereik en inhoud
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.
