Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Institutional Beginnings in a Western State, Vol. 7 Of the local institutions and public acts of the early settlers of Iowa no adequate records are to be found. There are many witnesses yet living who can state what they remember, and this is almost the only source of information. The early settlers thought no more of keeping permanent records of their public or social acts than they did of their individual labors. They plowed, sowed, built houses, barns, bridges, school-houses, punished disorderly persons, defended their homes against the Indians, all as the necessity or convenience of the time made desirable. In much of their ordinary work, by cooperation, they helped each other. It would require a wise man often to distinguish between acts which were not public and those which should be called such. The early settlers made no distinction and kept no permanent record of either. Even the claim associations upon whose acts the titles to their homes rested have left almost no records. There were scores of these organizations in the state, and, after extended inquiry, I find records of only one. These are the property of Colonel Trowbridge, of Iowa City, secretary of the Claim Association of Johnson County. He has kept a complete set of records for that county. In preparing the following sketch I have relied upon the personal testimony of living witnesses for much of the information used.
