A Stranger in a Strange Land is a most facinating romance. It is a little history of pioneer life all by itselfr and it also turned out to be a veritable literary gem. I say this as one who himself has tried to depict some of the romance and history of the Iowa Colony. In your story you have embodied the finest spirit of the pioneer. No one has ever or could tell better the story of the life of Dominie Scholte, and of all those who were associated with him in his great undertaking.
