Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Iowa Journal of History and Politics, Vol. 9 [This essay was awarded the seventy-five dollar prize offered in 1909 by the Iowa Society of the Colonial Dames of America for the best essay in Iowa history. The essay has been revised for publication. - Editor.] The contributions of Albert Miller Lea to the literature of Iowa history are neither voluminous nor critical. They consist chiefly of a small book of forty-five pages, two maps, and two reports; but, having been written during the formative period of beginnings, they have an historical importance which is out of proportion to their critical character. The little book gave the State its name; the reports were the bases of legislation and large appropriations by Congress; and the maps served as guides to settlers for a long period of years. Albert Miller Lea was a Lieutenant in the United States Army and an accomplished civil engineer - a man of varied attainments and remarkable foresight. He was born in 1807 at Lea Springs - a place not far distant from Knoxville, Tennessee. His father was a merchant who at one time held the position of Register of the Land Office in the State of Franklin; and his mother was one Clara Wisdom, who is described by her son Albert as a "wise and prudent" woman.
