Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State of Iowa: Something of Its History, Its Institutions, Its Resources and Natural Advantages The Commissioners for the State of Iowa to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition believed it wise to place the facts contained in this booklet in the hands of Commissioners from other States and other Nations to be preserved, it is hoped, as souvenirs of the year and the occasion which brought together at St. Louis the marvelous exhibition of the world's wealth. The State of Iowa, centrally situated, of all the States of the United States of America is the richest in natural resources, the most beautiful in landscape and the most promising for the abode of a cultured, contented and happy people. Where else on earth can be found a province or principality, a state or nation with 55,000 square miles of land so rich and of such even and average productivity.? And with neighbors so congenial, as the States which bound our borders? With a healthful climate, free from biting northern winds, or blighting southern blasts, there is no place more deserving to be called home. This booklet is especially dedicated to the promoters of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, not unmindful, however, of the splendid Iowa citizenship, which has made it possible to present such a record. It has been compiled and printed by the Iowa Publishing Company, of Davenport, Iowa. The Hon. W. C. Hayward, member of the State Senate, is the editor. Both publisher and editor deserve credit and commendation from the reader and especially from the people of Iowa for painstaking labor in the collection and arrangement of data for this record.
