An autobiographical manuscript describing Friesen's service as a seagoing cowboy in 1946.

A small set of research materials collected by Timothy Falb in the course of conducting three research projects -- one on the post World War II volunteers who shipped livestock overseas, one on Mennonite scholar and educator Edward Yoder, and one on the history of two sister congregations in Ohio, Martins Mennonite Church and Pleasant View Mennonite Church. Also included is an interview with Aldis Gerber, a conscientious objector during WWI. The richest sources of material in this collection are the oral histories. Researchers should note that no transcriptions are available for these oral histories.

The materials are divided into series by subject.
