content: From The Ground Up: The Story of "Brother Van", Montana Pioneer Minister, 1848-1919m I bought this for my mom because she thought she new the author and as it turns out she did. She used to babysit his children" way back when" as she puts it. She also remembered hearing about a brother Van and singing some of his favorite songs at the church in Montana where she grew up. She really liked the book and i'm sure it brought back some memories that she had forgotten.
