Mirza Ahmad Sohrab, a Persian-American author and a renowned Baha’i who served as a secretary and interpreter to Abdul Baha from 1912 to 1919 along with Lewis Chanler and his wife Julia formed the New History Society in 1929, in order to spread the teachings of the Baha’i faith. It was their independent effort to teach the principles of the Cause. Mirza Ahmad used to take lectures in New York and many people used to attend it. Once at the end of a similar lecture demand came from a group of people who used to attend them regularly. These people wanted to be a part of the Cause and did not wish to be disbanded so Sohrab, Lewis and Julia all decided to form a little society. . Initially, no name was decided for the group.

THE CARAVAN MAGAZINE The Caravan of East and West was established in 1929 by Mirza Ahmad Sohrab, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler and his wife Julie. The Caravan was a foundation that had a quarterly magazine called The Caravan in 1929. They also had a quarterly magazine called The Children’s Caravan in 1935, which ‘helps to keep children in touch with each other’. (Educational Digest). They also apparently published some other works. Originally a part of the Bahá’í Faith, that relationship ended shortly after the New York administration was denied oversight by its founders.
