Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Louisa County, Iowa, Vol. 1: From Its Earliest Settlement to 1912 The Pioneers The sturdy stuff of all their sires Was molded in the race of them Who builded first their wayside fires Along the primal forest's hem. Who dared the wilderness and fought With wild men single-handed there; Who cleared the underbrush and wrought Out destiny with patient care! In their small clearings, here and there, By creek and river, as they fared, The settler's cabin braved despair And challenged death and dared The awful loneliness that hushed The hope that still survives - The mad'ning silences that crushed The brightness out of lives! They were the heroes of the race Who conquered by the might Of manhood; who stood face to face With God and knew the right. And did it with a fearless trust That brooked no shriv'ling doubt; Who did the things that ever must Be done - as bravely did without! It was the sons of hardy sires - And not one whit less hardy these - Who kindled first their wayside fires On the wide prairies without trees, Where the dread desolation swept Across their spirits, day and night; Strong men struggled and women wept For loneliness beyond requite! Such were the men and such their wives Who laid the corner-stones of State; Who gave, in sacrifice, their lives That we might here become the great About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Louisa county has never lacked for towns or town sites, but many a once pretentious town or prospective city has long since given way to the corn field or the pasture. The county now has Wapello, Columbus Junction, Morning Sun, Columbus City, Oakville, Grandview, Lettsville, Cotter or Cotterville, Wyman, Cairo, Fredonia, Elrick Junction, Toolsboro, Marsh, Gladwin, Newport and Bard, being seventeen in all. A few of these places are little more than railway stations, and can hardly be said to have any special history distinct from that of the neighborhood in which they are situated; others doubtless have some interesting matter connected with their growth which has escaped us. In addition to existing towns, there are those which are past and gone. The list of these is as follows: Cuba City, Tecumseh, Sterling, Yellow Banks, Iowa Town, Florence, Harrison, Pittsburg, Cateese and Port Allen, all on the Iowa River; Burris City, Port Washington and Port Louisa on the Mississippi; the list also includes Hillsboro, Lafayette, Altoona, Odessa, Virginia Grove, Hope Farm, Cannonsburg, Clifton, Spring Run, Oakland, Palo Alto and Forest Hill. Perhaps we should also include Waiting's Landing, as this existed before Port Louisa was started and Was quite a well known shipping point in the early days. There was also the old town site of Columbus City. There were two Port Louisas, one of them sometimes called West Port. We should also include Lower Wapello, as that was probably entirely distinct from the present city. Of some of these ancient villages we know even less than we do of the works of the Mound Builders, for in regard to the latter, we at least know their location, and this is more than we know about a few of...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Louisa County, Iowa, Vol. 2: From Its Earliest Settlement to 1911 No compendium such as this volume defines in its essential limitations will serve to offer a fitting memorial to the life and record of Hon. E. Frank Brockway, a man whose sterling worth in many relations of life made him a valued citizen, whose memory is enshrined in the hearts of many who knew him, while his name is honored by all who know aught of his active career. He was born in Brockwayville, Harrison county, Pennsylvania, in 1832. his parents being James M. and Lydia (Goff) Brockway. They were also natives of the Keystone state and there they were married and spent the early years of their domestic life. Prior to his marriage James M. Brockway had been engaged in the lumber business in Pennsylvania and had also operated a sawmill, but after locating in Iowa he followed farming only. In 1840 he built a raft with a cabin on it, a sort of a crude house-boat, and placing all of hi? household goods within, together with his wife and eight children, started down the Ohio river for Iowa. When they reached the Mississippi they came north to Muscatine, where they landed, having been en route six weeks. Mr. Brockway filed upon some government land in Orono township, Muscatine county, in the cultivation of which he engaged until his death in 1874. Of the eight children horn unto Mr. and Mrs. Brockway only two survive: Emmet, who is living in Marshalltown, Iowa; and Albina, who is the widow of James R. Letts, of Grand View township. Those deceased are: Lafayette, Elmira, Judson, E. Frank, Emmet and George. The mother of these children only survived about sixteen years after they located in Iowa, her demise occurring in 1856. E. Frank Brockway was the fourth child born unto his parents. He was a lad of eight years when the family settled in Muscatine county, in whose district schools he acquired the greater portion of his preliminary education, this being later supplemented by a collegiate course, Having decided to become an agriculturist after leaving college he engaged in farming and stock-raising, which vocation continued to occupy his attention during the remainder of his life, He commenced his agricultural career on a farm which he had entered from the government in Orono township, Muscatine county. This he operated until 1866, when he sold and moved to Washington county, Iowa, where he acquired by purchase from time to time six hundred and forty acres of fine land.
