4.0 out of 5 stars Tales about events in Iowa and people who had some association with the state, July 4, 2008
By Charles Ashbacher "(cashbacher@yahoo.com)" (Marion, Iowa United States(cashbacher@yahoo.com)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Many famous people, among them Herbert Hoover, Johnny Carson, John Wayne, George Washington Carver, Buddy Holly, Wyatt Earp and Buffalo Bill Cody had ties to the state of Iowa. Some were born there, others passed through and some died there. All of these people and more are the subject of a short story in this book.
Other tales are about the communistic Amana Colonies, the artist Grant Wood, a ridiculous hotel war, an even more ridiculous scam of a "petrified" giant sculpted from Fort Dodge gypsum and the life of the Ringling Brothers. This book is a nice collection of tidbits about the history of the state of Iowa. I am a lifelong resident of the state, so naturally I enjoyed it. However, that is not a necessary precondition to the enjoyment of others.
