Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Illustrated History of the State of Iowa: Being a Complete Civil, Political, and Military History of the State, From Its First Exploration Down to 1875 In the preparation of this volume, I have not aimed so much at literary excellence as to produce a work of usefulness. The materials for its pages were ripe in abundance, and it has been a work of no little difficulty to select, from these contemporaries, subjects most appropriate for a History of Iowa, and to group them in the order best calculated to make their presentation acceptable. In the pursuit of this end, the following range of general subjects has been considered in the order designated. The opening chapters are intended to familiarize the reader with the physical and antiquarian features of the territory now embraced within the limits of the state. This is not only necessary to a better understanding of the events that have transpired upon it, but furnishes in itself much of interest and instruction. The early history of Iowa constitutes the second distinguishing feature. In this part, pains have been taken to present a strictly chronological narrative of all the important events in the early history of the territory, covering a period from its first exploration down to the organization of the territorial government, in 1838. The third division of the work may be designated by a cyclopædia of legislation during the administrations of each of the governors, from Lucas to Carpenter inclusive. This phase of the volume includes a review of Iowa´s record in the war for the union, as, also, a brief mention of the several political contests that have characterized the state and territorial governments.
