Book excerpt: Des Moines, the county seat of Polk County began as an Indian Agency and Army post in 1843. In the succeeding years Polk County, named to honor James Knox Polk the 11th president of the United States, shed its military origins and became the leading county in Iowa, so begin the authors in Des Moines and Polk County: Flag on the Prairie. In 1843 a treaty with the Sauk and Mesquakie Indians made way for settlement west of the Red Rock Line. Settlers scrambled to stake claims on the fertile, rolling prairie. From that point, Iowa experienced tremendous development. As the county seat and, beginning in 1857, the state capital, Des Moines soon became the center for Iowa politics, population, and commerce. A network of roads and rail lines made it a hub for travel, and a stopping point for pioneers heading west. However the pioneers who planted the "flag on the prairie" 160 years ago could not have anticipated an area that today would top 375,000 people living and working in one of the most metropolitan counties in the Midwest. Today Polk County is growing and expanding at an accelerated rate. Page after page of engrossing illustrations, many from the collections of the authors, bring rare images of Des Moines' past to life, while a portfolio of brilliant color photographs focuses on contemporary views of this handsome city, making Des Moines and Polk County: Flag on the Prairie a book not only to inform but to delight readers for generations to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although African American pioneers arrived in Des Moines, Iowa, in the early 1860s, the population exploded in the 1880s due to the surrounding coal mines. In the 1860s, the Burns Methodist Episcopal Church was the first African American church built in Des Moines, and its only address was "East Side of the River." From 1900 to the 1960s, African Americans across the United States called Center Street "the coolest place in the country." The likes of Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, and many others graced the hotels and clubs there. In Des Moines in the late 1960s and early 1970s, young African Americans discarded the term Negro and demanded to be referred to as Afro-American or black, as black pride swelled in their chests.
