Hollanders of Iowa - An Iowa On-line Genealogy Book

The "Hollanders of Iowa" book was written in 1912 by Jacob Van der Zee. Many of the Dutch pioneers who settled on the Iowa prairies in the 1800s still had memories of those early days when they, their parents and grandparents opened up the wilderness in Marion and Sioux Counties.

The history of the Hollanders of Iowa typifies the development of the American West and the spread of the American nation. It is full of details characteristic of the large rural settlements of European immigrants in America.
