4.0 out of 5 stars
Iowa History Reader,
By Denis Kellogg (Des Moines, IA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Iowa History Reader (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book to explore the various aspects of Iowa history. While the book doesn't concentrate on any one subject of Iowas' history it does give the reader a broad look at both local and statewide issues dealing with Native Americans to the Iowa Primaries. It is a well balanced even-handed account of Iowa and Iowans. What I fail to understand is why the book is currently out of print. Iowan history instructors and professors find this a valuable teaching tool and a good anthology of Iowa writers on Iowa issues.

Bring this book back in print,
By bluesman2001 (midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Iowa History Reader (Paperback)
I concur with Professor Kellogg. I am teaching Iowa History this spring (2006) and I have learned that the book is out of print. It is a shame, since it was such a great book to use with Dorthy Schwieder's Iowa: The Middle Land.
Bergman's collection of stories,(some available in Annuals of Iowa) is a nice grouping of Iowa History. From early native americans, to the abortion battles in the 70s this is a very good telling of Iowa history through the writings of some of Iowa's best historians. Tom Gary |
