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.

Book excerpt: In Crossings and Dwellings, Kyle Roberts and Stephen Schloesser, S.J., bring together essays by eighteen scholars in one of the first volumes to explore the work and experiences of Jesuits and their women religious collaborators in North America over two centuries following the Jesuit Restoration. Long dismissed as anti-liberal, anti-nationalist, and ultramontanist, restored Jesuits and their women religious collaborators are revealed to provide a useful prism for looking at some of the most important topics in modern history: immigration, nativism, urbanization, imperialism, secularization, anti-modernization, racism, feminism, and sexual reproduction. Approaching this broad range of topics from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, this volume provides a valuable contribution to an understudied period.

Download or read book East Village Des Moines written by Hope Mitchell and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Village was not always the fashionable destination it is today. When the first settlers arrived in 1843 on the muddy banks of the Des Moines River, it was in direct violation of a treaty with the local natives. The settlement grew so quickly that by 1855, the fledgling city had been selected to be the state capital, and the building was constructed in East Village. The next century saw rivalries with the western half of the city, the birth and battle of one of the city's largest red-light districts and the construction of some of Des Moines' most prized historic treasures. Historian Hope Mitchell investigates the people and events that shaped the culture and landscape of Des Moines' most dynamic neighborhood.
