'The once bold, defiant Fox, Long and Chichester were now humble supplicants for their lives, and it was pitiable to behold the cringing cowardice of these fellows, who had so often boasted of their bravery, but who were now whipped into the most slavish and contemptible subjection. The sight of the ghastly, lifeless forms lying in and around the house; the blood stained and bespattered walls, the weeping and sobbing of wives, mothers and children who hovered about the lifeless bodies of those who a few moments before were well and full of life and hope, was a scene calculated to melt the heart and arouse the most violent passions. "Vengeance! vengeance! was the cry that arose on the air. Ropes were called for, and the cry was, 'hang them all.' Preparations were now speedily going on to begin a wholesale execution of the bandits, so far that ropes had been adjusted around some of their necks, when David G. Bates, H. K. Magoon, Parks, Reed and others began to address the men, advising them to mercy and moderation, and begging them not to do an act under excitement for which they might be sorry in time to come. Order being partially restored, it was asked that the prisoners should be disposed of as the majority might designate. These appeals were but little heeded, and the fate of those under arrest, to all appearances, was sealed. At this juncture, I mounted a box and asked their attention for one moment, saying that Colonel Cox had a few words to say to them and hoped they would be silent and attentive while he was addressing them. With one shout they said they would hear him. The venerable old man addressed them as neighbors and citizens, and in a few words told them they had a higher duty to perform...

Download or read book A Dictionary of Iowa Place Names written by Tom Savage and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lourdes and Churchtown, Woden and Clio, Emerson and Sigourney, Tripoli and Waterloo, Prairie City and Prairieburg, Tama and Swedesburg, What Cheer and Coin. Iowa’s place-names reflect the religions, myths, cultures, families, heroes, whimsies, and misspellings of the Hawkeye State’s inhabitants. Tom Savage spent four years corresponding with librarians, city and county officials, and local historians, reading newspaper archives, and exploring local websites in an effort to find out why these communities received their particular names, when they were established, and when they were incorporated. Savage includes information on the place-names of all 1,188 incorporated and unincorporated communities in Iowa that meet at least two of the following qualifications: twenty-five or more residents; a retail business; an annual celebration or festival; a school; church, or cemetery; a building on the National Register of Historic Places; a zip-coded post office; or an association with a public recreation site. If a town’s name has changed over the years, he provides information about each name; if a name’s provenance is unclear, he provides possible explanations. He also includes information about the state’s name and about each of its ninety-nine counties as well as a list of ghost towns. The entries range from the counties of Adair to Wright and from the towns of Abingdon to Zwingle; from Iowa’s oldest town, Dubuque, starting as a mining camp in the 1780s and incorporated in 1841, to its newest, Maharishi Vedic City, incorporated in 2001. The imaginations and experiences of its citizens played a role in the naming of Iowa’s communities, as did the hopes of the huge influx of immigrants who settled the state in the 1800s. Tom Savage’s dictionary of place-names provides an appealing genealogical and historical background to today’s map of Iowa. “It is one of the beauties of Iowa that travel across the state brings a person into contact with so many wonderful names, some of which a traveler may understand immediately, but others may require a bit of investigation. Like the poet Stephen Vincent Benét, we have fallen in love with American names. They are part of our soul, be they family names, town names, or artifact names. We identify with them and are identified with them, and we cannot live without them. This book will help us learn more about them and integrate them into our beings.”—from the foreword by Loren N. Horton “Primghar, O’Brien County. Primghar was established by W. C. Green and James Roberts on November 8, 1872. The name of the town comes from the initials of the eight men who were instrumental in developing it. A short poem memorializes the men and their names: Pumphrey, the treasurer, drives the first nail; Roberts, the donor, is quick on his trail; Inman dips slyly his first letter in; McCormack adds M, which makes the full Prim; Green, thinking of groceries, gives them the G; Hayes drops them an H, without asking a fee; Albright, the joker, with his jokes all at par; Rerick brings up the rear and crowns all ‘Primghar.’ Primghar was incorporated on February 15, 1888.”
