Abstract	Reexamines the beginnings of the American Bahá'í community in light of newly discovered source materials. Conversion of the earliest American Bahá'ís and the formation of the Chicago Bahá'í community were more gradual processes than previously thought. These processes entailed the coalescing of a group of Americans interested in the Ba'í Faith and the development of an American Bahí message - activites in which the early Bahá'ís played a critical role. Consequently, the role of Ibrahim Kheiralla, while critical, was less central to the beginnings of the Bahá'í Faith in the United States than previously suggested.
