  • Struggle for Land Ownership W
    The typical Iowa farmer and his family have a strong, con­ tinuing desire to own a farm that belongs to them alone. The family-sized farm grew up here, and won its popularity as the most practical unit for this region. 1. Struggle For Land Ownership W. G. MURRAY, Economics and Sociology AN AIRPLANE TRIP OVER IowA IN 1833-IF SUCH A TRIP had been possible-would have given the passengers an excellent view of a native prairie of unmatched fertility, with scarcely a sign of civili­ zation. A few Indians and some settlements along the Mississippi River would have been about the only signs of human activity. The same air view of Iowa today-as we near the midpoint of the Twentieth Century-presents a remarkable transformation. The Iowa prairie has been made into 213,000 farms enclosing 95 per cent of the state's area into productive fields, pastures, and farmsteads. Those who have seen present-day Iowa from the air are impressed by the regular pattern of straight roads which cut the landscape into square mile areas of productive farm land. They sense the strength · and independence of Iowa as they see the individual farmsteads which dot this landscape as far as the. eye can reach. Each farmstead is usually set off by itself with a white house, red barn, windmill, and distinctive grove of trees. How this Iowa was settled by hardy pioneers and how these same pioneers, their sons, and their grandsons succeeded and failed in the struggle for ownership of the state's fertile acres is recorded in three significant phases.

  • Iowa's Forests Today
    Iowa’s Forests Today An Assessment of the Issues and Strategies for Conserving and Maintaining Iowa’s Forests Iowa’s Forests Today An Assessment of the Issues and Strategies for Conserving and Maintaining Iowa’s Forests Author Aron Flickinger, DNR Special Projects Forester Editor Evan Miller GIS Analysis Kathryne Clark, DNR GIS Specialist Publishing Editor Emily Grover State Forester Paul Tauke Director Richard Leopold 1 Iowa Department of Natural Resources June 2010 State Forester Comments The Tauke family arrived in Dubuque in the late 1830s. Their plans to move further west were temporarily placed on hold when the father of the Fangman family they were traveling with suffered a broken leg. Not wanting to separate, the two families sought advice from Bishop Mathias Loras. Bishop Loras advised the families to overwinter in the area near what is now New Vienna. As it turned out there was something about the area that captivated both families and over 170 years later both the Tauke and Fangman families are still “temporarily” in the area. At the time these families settled in the Iowa Territory it contained slightly over 22,000 settlers and near 7 million acres of woodland. Today the State of Iowa has over 3 million people and slightly over 3 million acres of woodlands. As you will see in our State Forest Resource Assessment and Strategies document the fortunes of Iowa’s woodlands have ebbed and flowed since eastern European settlement. The purpose of this document, which is required by law in the 2008 Farm Bill, is to assess the condition of Iowa’s rural and urban forest resources and provide a framework or strategy for how all Iowans might move forward to better care for this resource.

TilE VIETNAM WAR ON TRIAL: TilE COURT-MARTIAL OF DR. HOWARD B. LEVY ROBERT N. STRASSFELD• This Article examines the history of a Vietnam War-era case: the court-martial of Dr. Howard B. Levy. The U.S. Army court-martialled Dr. Levy for refusing to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers and for criticizing both the Green Berets and American involvement in Vietnam. Although the Supreme Court eventually upheld Levy's convicti on in Parkerv. Levy, ill decision obscures the political content of Levy's court-martial and its relationshipto the war.
