Churches were visited mainly during the summer of 1948.  The survey found 216 churches (three townships were omitted). Estimates the Indian population at over 15,000.  Of the Indian churches, 10.8% were Baptist and 6.4% Methodist.  Notes a strong influence by Free Will Baptists, Pentecostal Holiness, and Church of God.  Found that revivalism was important among the Indians, as was righteous living.  Provides a checklist of churches, arranged by township, which gives name, denomination, and race of each church.
