The New History Society gave rise in 1930 to the Caravan of East and West, and the Chanler's New York house was now called ''Caravan House''. This foundation was designed to prepare children and youth to join the New History Society. This group had a quarterly magazine called ''The Caravan'', where Sohrab's partial autobiography first appeared. (The autobiography appeared again in 1959, shortly after his death, with a few additional paragraphs.) | The New History Society gave rise in 1930 to the Caravan of East and West, and the Chanler's New York house was now called ''Caravan House''.

It numbers 1,300 Chapters in 37 countries, with an aggregate membership of 100,000 children, young people and adults. Its publications, The Caravan and Pen Friends Guide, respectively appearing quarterly and monthly, keep the large circle of its readers informed as to the growth and influence of the movement. The New History Society and the Caravan is a movement in itself for the spreading of the Baha'í ideals and principles, independent of and unaffiliated with the Baha'í organization." | + | :"The Caravan of East and West is an educational movement, the chief activity of which is international correspondence.

Sohrab had already published a few books, phamplets and a movie scenario, when in 1933, with Julie Chanler he wrote a book that provided an overview of many of the events of the Baha'i movement; it contained a description of the events of the [[Bab]], [[Baha'u'llah]] — his claim in the [[Garden of Ridvan]]— [[Tahirih]], and Abdu'l-Baha. The book also contains several pictures, including some which may be unique. | Sohrab had already published a few books, phamplets and a movie scenario, when in 1933, with Julie Chanler he wrote a book that provided an overview of many of the events of the Baha'i movement; it contained a description of the events of the [[Bab]], [[Baha'u'llah]] — his claim in the [[Garden of Ridvan]]— [[Tahirih]], and Abdu'l-Baha.
