Book Synopsis Eastern Iowa's Historic Barns and Other Farm Structures: Including the Amana Colonies - Color Version by : Deb Schense
Download or read book Eastern Iowa's Historic Barns and Other Farm Structures: Including the Amana Colonies - Color Version written by Deb Schense and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006-12-19 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally there were approximately 200,000 barns built in Iowa. Now it is estimated that only 60,000 barns remain, with another 1,000 or more barns disappearing from Iowa's landscape annually. This book preserves in print Eastern Iowa's historic barns built from 1839 to 1955 with over 175 photographs from the author's research, the first ever Amana Colonies barn tour, the Johnson County Historical Society barn tour, and the Iowa Barn Foundation's annual barn tour. Eight Iowa counties and 20 rural cities are covered. Former president Hoover was living as a youth five miles from one of the featured octagonal barns when it was built in 1883. This barn's aesthetic beauty is so inspiring that people from other countries come to visit this barn each year to see the unusual bell shaped roof, a suspended staircase, a railway car, and laminated interior ribs. It may be the only barn built with a bell shaped roof and is thought to be the oldest surviving barn built of it's kind in the U. S.

Book excerpt: Nestled in the Iowa River valley of Eastern Iowa are the historic Amana Colonies. These seven villages display vestigial signs of one of the longest-lived communal societies in American history. The community's historical roots can be traced from Germany, to New York, and finally to the newly developing state of Iowa. The members of the Amana Colonies sought a self-sustaining, secluded, and pious life. They established this reality in Iowa County.This is a story of one of those members, Elise Katherine Leichsenring Berger. Childhood experiences, growing older, and entering the communal school system, making friends, dating, and following the development of her marriage and family are all central components in this book's narrative. The reader will get a glimpse of the broader community dynamics through Elise's personal story as they are intertwined with local, national, and world-wide historical events including the World Wars, Prohibition, and the ending of the communal system in 1932. The life of this centenarian documents the dramatic changes within the Amana Colonies from communal through modern times.Drawn largely from personal recordings of Elise and other uncommon sources, Echoes of Elise provides unique insight into the daily life and experiences of a member within this intriguing community. These personal, universal experiences give the reader insight into the Amana's history in a way unlike ever before. Listen to Elise, she has a story to tell...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gretchen Kohler is an Amana storekeeper's daughter with a secret passion for writing. But artistic pursuits are frowned upon in her conservative Amana village, so she confines her poems and stories to her journals, letting only close friends read them. When a young reporter comes into her store, she believes she's found a kindred spirit. She shares a few of her stories with him--only to have her trust betrayed in the worst of ways, resulting in trouble for her entire community. The scandal is made even worse by the fact that gypsies have camped nearby and seem to be preying upon the Amanans' compassionate, pacifist nature. Will Gretchen lose her job, her reputation, and the love of her childhood beau all because of one bad decision?
