Documentary Material Relating To The History Of Iowa (No. 7)

By Benjamin Franklin Shambaugh

Step inside the making of an American state. History lives in these pages. In Documentary Material Relating To The History Of Iowa (No. 7), pioneering historian Benjamin F. Shambaugh gathers essential Iowa historical documents that chart the territory's transformation into a modern commonwealth, from early governance and law-making to the struggles that shaped Iowa statehood origins and midwestern political history. Drawn from the rich state historical society collection, these carefully selected papers, reports, and contemporary accounts open a vivid window onto 19th century Iowa, frontier life in Iowa, and the wider story of midwestern United States history. For Iowa history researchers, students of American regional development, and anyone fascinated by how communities become states, this volume serves as a reliable primary source reference book and a landmark documentary history of Iowa. It reads as both research tool and american regional history anthology: official records set alongside personal testimony, revealing how politics, land, ethnicity, and belief collided on the frontier and matured into stable institutions. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Faithful to Shambaugh's original scholarship while newly accessible for modern readers, this enduring primary source history collection places authentic voices at the heart of Iowa's past and offers a cornerstone work for libraries, scholars, and serious collectors.
