O'Sullivan's writings in Northern Lights, the essays of Josiah Strong in the Home Missionary and Pastor's Journal, as well as numerous small town western publications. This collection provides scholars with a unique snapshot into the periodicals that expressed the ideas that fueled America's westward expansion.
