This is Louis Thomas Jones' 1914 work, 'The Quakers Of Iowa'. Quakers are members of a group with Christian roots that began in England in the 1650s. The formal title of the movement is the Society of Friends or the Religious Society of Friends. This volume presents the essential history of the Quakers from their first appearance in Iowa down to the present time. Highly recommended for those with an interest in Quakerism. Contents include: 'Historical Narrative', 'The Rise and Spread of Quakerism', 'The Quakers in the American Colonies', 'Westward Migration', 'The Planting of Quakerism in Iowa', 'The Quakers in the Back Counties', 'The Iowa Field in 1850', 'A Decade of Expansion 1850 to 1860', 'The Formation of the Iowa Yearly Meeting of Friends', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
