Excerpt from Annals of Iowa, Vol. 1: A Historical Quarterly; April, 1893 One of the surprises with which I met was the large number of people on that proposed line of road who had never seen a railroad, and many of whom did not seem to have any wish to see one. This was to me a strange idea, and one that rendered my task more difficult, because when men are satisfied with their condition and surroundings, it is very difficult to induce them to change them. I could only account for these strange notions on the supposition that this class of persons had read and were in sympathy with the man described by Pollock in his Course of Time.

Excerpt from Annals of Iowa: Volumes I-VIII; April, 1893-January, 1909; Index In the first biennial report, 1893, Charles Aldrich, founder and curator of the State Historical Department of Iowa, detailed its origin and purpose in the following language: Need for the Department. At the capitals of most states collections of the data for their own history, and that of surrounding regions, have been 111 progress for many years - in some from their first organization. Wis cousin, the model western state in this regard, has been engaged in this work fifty years. Kansas for nearly half that period. Possibly a like effort might have been instituted at the capital of Iowa, but the founding of the State Historical Society at Iowa City, in the year 1857, had the effect to in Spire a belief that that organization was taking adequate care of this impor tant interest. Such a result, however, was an impossibility. For the society was destitute of the necessary funds. True, the organization has been kept up until now. The members, individually, have done everything in their power to increase the collections. All that the members could do was done, but no such institution, thus meagerly supported, can attain the ends sought. Meantime, the years were rolling by. The early settlers of the State were rapidly disappearing, either by death or removal to other regions, and all their recollections of pioneer times were fading away. Their places were occupied by new comers, who could not reasonably be expected to take much interest or pride in the Iowa of early days, for the reason that they knew little about it, and little of its history had been preserved.

Excerpt from The Annals of Iowa, Vol. 11: 1872-1873 HE Pottawattamies, who for a short time lived in Iowa, were once a powerful nation. Their early history is very obscure, but previous to their coming to Iowa, they resided in Indiana, the southern part of Michigan, and the _eastern part of Illinois. The United States has probably had more business transactions with these Indians than with any other nation. They were received into the -friendship and protection of the government by a treaty held with them on the 9th of January, 1789; and since that time, and previous to their removal to Iowa, the government held thirty-five treaties with the Indians of this nation.
