Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hollanders of Iowa The author of this volume on The Hollanders of Iowa was admirably fitted for the task. Born of Dutch parents in The Netherlands and reared among kinsfolk in Iowa, he has been a part of the life which is portrayed in these pages. At the same time Mr. Van der Zee's education at The State University of Iowa, his three years' resi dence at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and his research work in The State Historical Society of Iowa have made it possible for him to study the Hollanders objectively as well as subjectively. Accordingly, his book is in no respect an over drawn, eulogistic account of the Dutch people. The history of the Hollanders of Iowa is not wholly provincial: it suggests much that is typi cal in the development of Iowa and in the larger history of the West: it is a story of the stubborn and unyielding fight of men and women who over came the obstacles of a new country and handed down to their descendants thriving farms and homes of peace and plenty.
