Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Centennial Sketches, Map and Directory of Union County, Iowa In presenting the Centennial Sketehes, Map and Directory of Union County to the subscribers, we desire to express our appreciation of your good will, co-operation and patronage. The work was undertaken in the belief that such a publication, carefully compiled, was demanded by the citizens of the county, and our later experience has shown our judgment well founded. The topographical part of the work has been carefully, and, we believe, thoroughly performed; and, as a precaution, after the tracings were ready for the engraver's hands, we submitted them to the careful inspection of well-posted residents of the several townships for final correction, before giving them to the lithographer. In this part of the work we have spared neither time nor expense, that we might offer you a correct map of the county. In the sketches of the early history, we have gathered facts and figures from a large number of the old settlers, and, so far as possible, have sought to reconcile occurrences, dates and circumstances, so that all might harmonize. Laying no claims to the qualifications of an author, we have sought to place in a permanent form scraps of early history, which, with the death of the present generation, unless preserved, would be irrecoverably lost. We have invited facts and incidents from a large number of old residents; some have not seen fit to furnish us with the data in their possession, while many others have lent us every assistance in their power; to one and all we extend our hearty acknowledgments for favors received. The Directory is as complete as it is possible to make it, considering the transient character of the inhabitants of some portions of the county. The digest of laws of the State, tabular statements of county growth, personal sketches, and the various other features of the work, we trust, may be found interesting and profitable. A larger number of engravings might have been inserted, but the stringency of the times deterred many from making investments in that direction. We desire especially to express our obligations for information and favors to II. A. Botleman, County Auditor; B. F. Martz, Recorder; Samuel Riggs, J. S. Lytle, J. H. Lemon, G. A. Ide, J. A. White, R. J. McKee, Rev. John Clough, R. C. Carter, W. T. Cornwall, A. C. Cooper, Mrs. Benj. Lamb and family, I. K. White, L. J. Williamson, J. S. Lorimor, William Groesbeck, Henry Groesbeck, Ira Seeley, T. M. Robinson, J. F. Bishop, Geo. W. Emerson, J. D. Spaulding, Dr. J. A. Day, and many others, who will ever have our gratitude and best wishes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Iowa History Reader by : Marvin Bergman
Download or read book Iowa History Reader written by Marvin Bergman and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2008-03-15 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978 historian Joseph Wall wrote that Iowa was “still seeking to assert its own identity. . . . It has no real center where the elite of either power, wealth, or culture may congregate. Iowa, in short, is middle America.” In this collection of well-written and accessible essays, originally published in 1996, seventeen of the Hawkeye State’s most accomplished historians reflect upon the dramatic and not-so-dramatic shifts in the middle land’s history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Marvin Bergman has drawn upon his years of editing the Annals of Iowa to gather contributors who cross disciplines, model the craft of writing a historical essay, cover more than one significant topic, and above all interpret history rather than recite it. In his preface to this new printing, he calls attention to publications that begin to fill the gaps noted in the 1996 edition. Rather than survey the basic facts, the essayists engage readers in the actual making of Iowa’s history by trying to understand the meaning of its past. By providing comprehensive accounts of topics in Iowa history that embrace the broader historiographical issues in American history, such as the nature of Progressivism and Populism, the debate over whether women’s expanded roles in wartime carried over to postwar periods, and the place of quantification in history, the essayists contribute substantially to debates at the national level at the same time that they interpret Iowa’s distinctive culture.

Book Synopsis The Biographical Dictionary of Iowa by : David Hudson
Download or read book The Biographical Dictionary of Iowa written by David Hudson and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iowa has been blessed with citizens of strong character who have made invaluable contributions to the state and to the nation. In the 1930s alone, such towering figures as John L. Lewis, Henry A. Wallace, and Herbert Hoover hugely influenced the nation’s affairs. Iowa’s Native Americans, early explorers, inventors, farmers, scholars, baseball players, musicians, artists, writers, politicians, scientists, conservationists, preachers, educators, and activists continue to enrich our lives and inspire our imaginations. Written by an impressive team of more than 150 scholars and writers, the readable narratives include each subject’s name, birth and death dates, place of birth, education, and career and contributions. Many of the names will be instantly recognizable to most Iowans; others are largely forgotten but deserve to be remembered. Beyond the distinctive lives and times captured in the individual biographies, readers of the dictionary will gain an appreciation for how the character of the state has been shaped by the character of the individuals who have inhabited it. From Dudley Warren Adams, fruit grower and Grange leader, to the Younker brothers, founders of one of Iowa’s most successful department stores, The Biographical Dictionary of Iowa is peopled with the rewarding lives of more than four hundred notable citizens of the Hawkeye State. The histories contained in this essential reference work should be eagerly read by anyone who cares about Iowa and its citizens. Entries include Cap Anson, Bix Beiderbecke, Black Hawk, Amelia Jenks Bloomer, William Carpenter, Philip Greeley Clapp, Gardner Cowles Sr., Samuel Ryan Curtis, Jay Norwood Darling, Grenville Dodge, Julien Dubuque, August S. Duesenberg, Paul Engle, Phyllis L. Propp Fowle, George Gallup, Hamlin Garland, Susan Glaspell, Josiah Grinnell, Charles Hearst, Josephine Herbst, Herbert Hoover, Inkpaduta, Louis Jolliet, MacKinlay Kantor, Keokuk, Aldo Leopold, John L. Lewis, Marquette, Elmer Maytag, Christian Metz, Bertha Shambaugh, Ruth Suckow, Billy Sunday, Henry Wallace, and Grant Wood. Excerpt from the entry on: Gallup, George Horace (November 19, 1901–July 26, 1984)—founder of the American Institute of Public Opinion, better known as the Gallup Poll, whose name was synonymous with public opinion polling around the world—was born in Jefferson, Iowa. . . . . A New Yorker article would later speculate that it was Gallup’s background in “utterly normal Iowa” that enabled him to find “nothing odd in the idea that one man might represent, statistically, ten thousand or more of his own kind.” . . . In 1935 Gallup partnered with Harry Anderson to found the American Institute of Public Opinion, based in Princeton, New Jersey, an opinion polling firm that included a syndicated newspaper column called “America Speaks.” The reputation of the organization was made when Gallup publicly challenged the polling techniques of The Literary Digest, the best-known political straw poll of the day. Calculating that the Digest would wrongly predict that Kansas Republican Alf Landon would win the presidential election, Gallup offered newspapers a money-back guarantee if his prediction that Franklin Delano Roosevelt would win wasn’t more accurate. Gallup believed that public opinion polls served an important function in a democracy: “If govern¬ment is supposed to be based on the will of the people, somebody ought to go and find what that will is,” Gallup explained.
