Also be sure to check out the Methodist Research Aids web page, for additional resources and links to articles, archives, Conference offices, Jurisdictional maps, websites etc..

Bookmark this page and return to it often, as I will be adding more to this bibliography as I continue my own research on the history of the Methodist Church in Kansas.

The Story of Methodism, by Luccock, Hutchinson, and Goodloe (Abingdon) -- I have a very old book of the same title with no title page, publication date or author. Internal evidence indicates it was written in 1884, so could not be the same book. However you are likely to find old, rare books with similiar names in reference sections of your local library, a nearby Methodist Church library, or a Methodist Church related college or university.
