A 1922 rural sociology survey by Benson Y. Landis, published in New York by George H. Doran, reporting on churches and social conditions in Clay County, Iowa, and Jennings County, Indiana, for church workers and reformers. Grainy halftone field photographs show clapboard chapels, spires, parsonages, and schoolhouses on bare ground, useful for coarse-screen texture and plain vernacular building silhouettes.
