  • The Annals of Iowa
    The Annals of Volume 73, Number 4 Iowa Fall 2014 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue ERIC STEVEN ZIMMER, a doctoral candidate in American history at the University of Iowa, describes the Meskwaki fight for self-governance, in the face of the federal government’s efforts to force assimilation on them, from the time they established the Meskwaki Settlement in the 1850s until they adopted a constitution under the Roosevelt administration’s Indian New Deal in the 1930s. GREGORY L. SCHNEIDER, professor of history at Emporia State University in Kansas, relates the efforts made by the State of Iowa to maintain service on former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad lines in the 1970s as that once mighty railroad company faced the liquidation of its holdings in the wake of bankruptcy proceedings. Front Cover As the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad faced bankruptcy in the 1970s, it abandoned branch lines and depots across the state of Iowa. This 1983 photo of the abandoned depot and platforms in West Liberty repre- sents just one of many such examples. To read about how the State of Iowa stepped in to try to maintain as much rail service as possible as the Rock Island was liquidated, see Gregory Schneider’s article in this issue.

  • Strategic Middlemen: Monongahela, Mohawk, and Meskwaki Settlements in a Trade Landscape
    STRATEGIC MIDDLEMEN: MONONGAHELA, MOHAWK, AND MESKWAKI SETTLEMENTS IN A TRADE LANDSCAPE By Emma Elizabeth Bremer Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Program Department of Sociology and Archaeology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 2012 Copyright © 2012 by Emma Elizabeth Bremer All Rights Reserved ii STRATEGIC MIDDLEMEN: MONONGAHELA, MOHAWK, AND MESKWAKI SETTLEMENTS IN A TRADE LANDSCAPE Emma Elizabeth Bremer, B.S. University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, 2012 North America was home to a vast set of trade networks both prehistorically and historically. In several instances key passages within these networks were controlled by societies who acted as middlemen. This position allowed them to command great power and wealth, which created tension with their neighbors and trade partners. This study examines how the Monongahela of the upper Ohio River valley (A.D. 1100-1635), the Mohawk of the Mohawk valley (A.D. 1525- 1776), and the Meskwaki of the Fox River Passage (A.D. 1665-1730) settled within their territories and how these decisions may have reflected considerations including subsistence, control of routes, and defense. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my readers, Dr. Constance Arzigian and Dr. David Anderson for their constant support and guidance. I would also like to thank the members of my reading group, Cindy Kocik and Caitlin Larson, as well as my family, roommates, and friends for supporting me through this long process and providing much needed help with editing. Last, but not least I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.

  • Iron County, Michigan
    PRESENTS IRON COUNTY, MICHIGAN The Western Terminus of the Menominee Iron Range Compiled by William John Cummings 2012 Map of Iron County, Michigan, With Townships IRON COUNTY, MICHIGAN Iron County was established in September, 1885, having been severed from Marquette County’s Ely Township, established in 1871, and a small portion along the Brule River was taken from Menominee County. The southwest portion of Marquette County was originally Ely Township, but when Baraga County was formed in 1875, the land now forming Iron County was placed in the new Township of Republic. In 1882 Crystal Falls Township and Iron River Township were formed after petitions were made to the Marquette County Board of Supervisors for representation. Pat E. Dunn, of Crystal Falls, and Daniel J. Lay, of Iron River Township, took their respective seats on the Marquette County Board of Supervisors on May 29, 1882. Economic development was primarily based on the mining and logging industries and was enriched by the diverse ethnic mixture of its people. When Iron County was formed five townships were created: Iron River, Crystal Falls, Felch, Bates and Mastodon. Crystal Falls serves as the county seat. In 1890, the population of Iron County was 4,432. The county has a total area of 1,211.02 square miles of which 1,166.36 square miles is land and 44,67 square miles is water.
