Westward To Iowa

By Arthur Pickford

"Westward To Iowa" is a fascinating story of the Benjamin Pickford family leaving hard-scrabble life in the woolen mills of 1866 Yorkshire, England, to seek a better life in the United States' undeveloped Midwest. They became part of the first immigrant wave sweeping across thousands of acres yet untouched by the plow. They faced the challenge of building a new lives from scratch and, more importantly, creating a new society among settlers from many nations. From this great adventure, the Midwest took less than 100 years to become the "Bread Basket of the World."
