George I. Butler: An Honest and Misunderstood Church Leader

For a few years already, I have been writing the biography on Adventist pioneer and church leader George I. Butler, as part of the Adventist Pioneer Series, published first by the Review and Herald Publishing Association and now by Pacific Press Publishing Association. To complete this research and writing project, I seek some extra funds to do first-hand research in local archives and historical societies where Butler lived in Waukon and Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
