A History of Iowa

I spent two years in Iowa, and I learned more from this little book, geared toward pre-teens, than I did when I was there. Maybe that says a lot about my powers of observation, but, in reality, is says a lot about the construction and writing of this book. "The Land Where the Tall Corn Grows" is given its full due here.The "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "Iowa" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. The "History" section is especially good and is very inclusive. This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators.
