NPS Form 10-900-B OMB No. 10024-0018 (Oct DUBUQUE—THE KEY CITY The Architectural And Historical Resources of Dubuque, I owa, 1837-1955 Post Phase I I I V er si on JAMES E. JACOBSEN, HISTORY PAYS! June 24, 2003 No city of the Union of equal population has in our opinion more reason to be proud of its position, character and reputation, than Dubuque, in developing all the elements of progress, placed by nature at its disposal. From its geographical position, nearly midway between Saint Louis and Saint Paul, it bids fair to justify its claims to be the “Metropolis of Iowa.” Willard Glazwa, Down The Great River, p. 243, 1889 Credits and Acknowledgements: This project has been funded with the assistance of a matching grant-in-aid from the State Historical Society of Iowa, Community Programs Bureau, through the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966; the opinions expressed herein are not necessarily those of the Department of the Interior.

Edith N. Lane, “The Beauty of Dubuque, Enterprise, November 26, 1904 By any standard Dubuque is and has always been a distinctively different place by Iowa standards. On one hand the city served as the port of entry for Iowa settlement and was the state’s first city. On the other hand Dubuque has always been geographically separated from the state and has made her fortune from a tri-state market area. If Iowa is protestant, Republican, and less than friendly with organized labor, Dubuque has assumed the opposite extremes by being predominately Catholic, Democrat and strongly pro-labor. The city has been strongly self-reliant from the start, eschewing the out-of-state investors who dominated the development of the other Iowa cities. During the Civil War the city dared to lead in the political opposition to the national war policy and its attending repression of thought and action. This conservative bastion has opened up in recent years. The invention of color photography

    Tri-State Area Birding Guide 2016-2017 Birds For All Seasons Spring April and May are some of the best times to see songbird mi- gration. Stopping at a boat landing and taking time to scan the treetops can reward a visitor with many species of Warblers. Fol- lowing the Great River Road on both sides of the river, you will discover one of the many walking trails or decks with spotting scopes to help you view wildlife, but it is always best to bring your own binoculars. Summer In the oodplain forest great Blue Herons, Great Egrets and Double-Crested Cormorants nest in rookeries. Look for groups of American White Pelicans feeding in formation or soaring over the refuge. The Sora Rail, the laughter of the marsh, is the most common marsh bird. Seldom seen, but often heard, in the early morning or late evening. Eleven species of frogs and toads sing, chirp, and croak from April to August. Listen for them in the eve- nings at the marsh. Fall Fall colors are the backdrop Spring for thousands of waterfowl migrating back to their win- tering grounds. Migrating Tundra Swans grace the ref- uge of the Upper Mississippi y way through freeze-up. During peak fall migration in Summer late October, watch for hun- dreds of thousands of Can- vasbacks, Common Mergan- sers, Goldeneyes, Mallards, Shovelers, Blue-Winged Teal, and Coots. Winter Tracks in snow remind you Fall that winter is alive with ac- tivity. A track made by otter sliding on the ice or a deer path across the ice are often discovered on a winter out- ing.

There is usually a slender barbel near the tip of the maxillary. The Lake Chub is dark olive dorsally and is dusky white ventrally with a dark lateral band extending from the base of the caudal fin to the snout. Although superficially resembling the Creek Chub (Semotilus atromaculatus), the Lake Chub lacks the Figure 1. Lake Chub (Couesius plumbeus).
