Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Iowa City: A Contribution to the Early History of Iowa Iowa City is interesting chiefly as the historical capital of Iowa. The object of this monograph, therefore, will be to deal with the history of Iowa City as a factor in the earl history of Iowa. And under this treatment it is proposed to study the town in a two-fold aspect: as an organ of the state performing the functions of a capital, and as an organism illustrating the character, manners and customs of pioneer life in Iowa. The period covered in these pages extends from the founding of Iowa City in the year 1839 to the removal of the capital to Des Moines in the year 1857. No previous attempt having been made to write the history of Iowa City, this monograph is necessarily the result of original investigation. Fortunately, however, inasmuch as Iowa City has always been the seat of the State Historical Society, there has drifted into the library of this society important material on the subject which otherwise would have been lost or carelessly destroyed. As to sources of information I have for the most part relied upon contemporaneous newspapers, letters, original manuscripts and miscellaneous papers.
