He is the author of 'TheMinister's Handbook', 'The Man of Faith', 'The City of God', and'Thoughts About Christ', which have been prepared with care, andreceived with much favor.

John Denison Nevin writes from "The Story of Nevin, and HistoricalNarrative of the Early Days of the New England Colony of Iowa" by J.Loran Ellis, 1901:
"During the middle fifties public interest in the question of theextension or nonextension of slavery to the Kansas country wasintense. Emigration from the East was heavy. The Rev E.H. Nevin,pastor of the Congregational Church at Walpole, Mass., took his summervacation in 1835, to visit the West, and returned impressed with thewealth of Iowa's rolling lands.
Speculation in land was booming among Boston capitalists and at Dr.Nevin's suggestion, Harris, Cowles & Co., stock brokers, bought 16,000acres of land in Iowa.
Dr. Nevin's proposal was: that Mr. Turner and Mr. R. B. Smith (ofHarris, Cowles & Co.) should each furnish one-half the money to flatand manage the speculation. Dr. Nevin's name was to be given to theplace and he was to give his moral support but was to invest no money,he was also to receive a plot of 160 acres.
Solomon Brown, a deacon in Dr. Nevin's church, acted as selling agent,and announced in the Bostson papers: 'New England Colony of Iowa & c,The subscriber is now receiving names of applicants for this Colony ofthose who wish to become actual settlers & c.' The greater part of theland was sold and some families moved west and settled there. A smallvillage sprang up, lasting a few years, and then the original Nevinland passed into improved farms. There were in 1901, ninety familiesin the old boundaries known now as Nevinville."
