Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of Iowa, Vol. 11: 1872-1873 HE Pottawattamies, who for a short time lived in Iowa, were once a powerful nation. Their early history is very obscure, but previous to their coming to Iowa, they resided in Indiana, the southern part of Michigan, and the _eastern part of Illinois. The United States has probably had more business transactions with these Indians than with any other nation. They were received into the -friendship and protection of the government by a treaty held with them on the 9th of January, 1789; and since that time, and previous to their removal to Iowa, the government held thirty-five treaties with the Indians of this nation.

Download or read book The Making of Iowa Classic Reprint written by Henry Sabin and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of Iowa My object in writing this book, "The Making of Iowa," is not to give a history of the State, but only a narration calculated to keep alive the memory of those pioneers whose achievements and wisdom laid the foundation for our institutions. There is great danger that the stirring events of later years will obscure if not obliterate the record which these hardy men made under our Territorial government and in the formative years of our Statehood. An account of "The Making of Iowa," in the early stages of her growth and development will interest the children and induce them to read history, both for the pleasure it will give them and the information it will impart. The record has been followed in regular order through the earliest days to the times preceding the Civil War. The history of that eventful period is still fresh in the public mind. Here I have dealt with the past and with the deeds of men who served the State well in their day and have long since passed to their reward. Besides, the history of Iowa is rich in Indian names. Black Hawk, Keokuk, Mahaska and Wapello still live in the names of Iowa counties and towns. The land for which these brave chiefs contended is ours to-day, but they had many noble traits and their memory is part of the inheritance of the State.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Iowa Journal of History and Politics, Vol. 6 It had been hoped that the past services of George W. J ones would entitle him to a unanimous election. But a few Whigs were willing to administer a measure of partisan politics to the infant Territory. In the campaign lasting hardly a month the past records and capabilities of J ones and Meeker were paraded for comparison. Personal and local considerations, however, such as the location of county seats, internal improvements, and a discussion of the vari ous claims of Burlington, Belmont, Du Buque, and Madison for the capital of the Territory constitute the principal record of the first political activity in Iowa. The popularity of Col. G. W. J ones was general through out the Territory. It was he whose efforts had secured the passage of the Act of April 20, 1836, establishing the original Territory of Wisconsin, and the voters generally believed that his election was necessary to secure the best interests of the young Territory in matters of National legislation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iowa and the Centennial: The State Address By right of discovery, France claimed jurisdiction over the country thus visited, until 1763, when she ceded it to Spain. Spain ceded her possession in the Valley of the Mississippi back to France in 1801. By treaty, signed on the 30th of April, 1803, the First Consul of the French Republic ceded these possessions to the United States. At this date the greater portion of the country afterwards constituting Iowa, was in the possession of the confederated tribes of Sac and Fox In dians. The first occupation under claim of title, by a white man, of any portion of Iowa soil, was by Julian Dubuque, a native of Canada, who, in 1788, obtained from Blondeau and two other chiefs of the Fox Indians, what he asserted wasa grant of lands. He bounded his claim as seven leagues on the west bank of the Mississippi, from the mouth of the Little Maquoketa river to the Tete Des Morts, and three leagues in depth. He also had a qualified confirmation of this grant from Ca rondelet the Spanish Governor at New Orleans. He took to wife an Indian squaw, and occupied the mines until the time of his death, 1810, employing about ten white men in digging mineral. He was buried on the bluff on the Mississippi at the mouth of. Catfish creek, and the city and county of Dubuque were afterwards named for him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Iowa Band Dear Brother: It was in November, 1843, that you welcomed to your home, your people, and the West, the brethren since known as The Iowa Band. At that time, as composing the ordained ministry of our denomination in the then Territory of Iowa, there were with you six others; to wit, Julius A. Reed, Reuben Gaylord, Charles Burnham, Allen B. Hitchcock, Oliver Emerson, and John C. Holbrook. From these, too, came a cordial welcome. This was twenty-five years ago; bringing us, and our mission work here, to the Silver Wedding time. It is usual, on such occasions, in the presence of friends whose sympathies make the joys common to all, to revive the history of the parties, and reminiscences of the past. In this little book, as a Home Missionary offering in honor of that noble Society which we all love, there is given, first, a brief history of the Band, followed by a few facts and scenes from out our common efforts; with such reflections, in passing, as by a review of quarter-century labors, are naturally suggested: all of which, with due thanks to the Master, you will permit, as one of the first Congregational Ministers of Iowa, and one whom we all love to call Father Turner, to be to you dedicated.

Download or read book The Hollanders of Iowa Classic Reprint written by Jacob Van Der Zee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hollanders of Iowa The author of this volume on The Hollanders of Iowa was admirably fitted for the task. Born of Dutch parents in The Netherlands and reared among kinsfolk in Iowa, he has been a part of the life which is portrayed in these pages. At the same time Mr. Van der Zee's education at The State University of Iowa, his three years' resi dence at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and his research work in The State Historical Society of Iowa have made it possible for him to study the Hollanders objectively as well as subjectively. Accordingly, his book is in no respect an over drawn, eulogistic account of the Dutch people. The history of the Hollanders of Iowa is not wholly provincial: it suggests much that is typi cal in the development of Iowa and in the larger history of the West: it is a story of the stubborn and unyielding fight of men and women who over came the obstacles of a new country and handed down to their descendants thriving farms and homes of peace and plenty.
