Product Description

The Story of Edward Steiner: Grinnell College professor of Applied Christianity 1903-1941. In this chapbook, George Drake recounts Steiner's life as an immigrant from Slovakia. Steiner crossed the Atlantic at least 12 times, always in steerage, while interviewing immigrants. His friendship with Leo Tolstoy influenced him profoundly. And, in turn, he influenced Grinnell's five New Deal administrators, including Harry Hopkins 1912.
