Meticulously researched, A History of the American Pro-Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity, Paris, 18151980 delivers an impressive narrative on each period of growth and development within this church. Beginning with the American Episcopal Churchs need to serve Americans living in Paris, author Cameron Allen traces the development of the foundational congregation, the building of the first church, and its organization over the years.

Lamson, who formally established the church, the pivotal role of J. P. Morgan, organist L. K. Whipp, and German Colonel Rudolf Damrath, a Lutheran minister who took over during the German Occupation of France during World War II.
