  • The Annals of Iowa for Their Critiques
    The Annals of Volume 66, Numbers 3 & 4 Iowa Summer/Fall 2007 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue J. L. ANDERSON analyzes the letters written between Civil War soldiers and their farm wives on the home front. In those letters, absent husbands provided advice, but the wives became managers and diplomats who negotiated relationships with kin and neighbors to provision and shelter their families and to preserve their farms. J. L. Anderson is assistant professor of history and assistant director of the Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia. DAVID BRODNAX SR. provides the first detailed description of the role of Iowa’s African American regiment, the 60th United States Colored Infantry, in the American Civil War and in the struggle for black suffrage after the war. David Brodnax Sr. is associate professor of history at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. TIMOTHY B. SMITH describes David B. Henderson’s role in securing legislation to preserve Civil War battlefields during the golden age of battlefield preservation in the 1890s. Timothy B. Smith, a veteran of the National Park Service, now teaches at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Front Cover Milton Howard (seated, left) was born in Muscatine County in 1845, kidnapped along with his family in 1852, and sold into slavery in the South. After escaping from his Alabama master during the Civil War, he made his way north and later fought for three years in the 60th U.S. Colored Infantry. For more on Iowa’s African American regiment in the Civil War, see David Brodnax Sr.’s article in this issue.

  • Uptown Girl: the Andresen Flats and the West End by Marion Meginnis
    Uptown Girl: The Andresen Flats and the West End By Marion Meginnis Spring 2015 HP613 Urban History Goucher College M.H.P Program Consistent with the Goucher College Academic Honor Code, I hereby affirm that this paper is my own work, that there was no collaboration between myself and any other person in the preparation of this paper (I.B.1), and that all work of others incorporated herein is acknowledged as to author and source by either notation or commentary (I.B.2). _____________ (signature) ___________ (date) The Andresen Flats The Andresen Flats and its neighborhood are tied to the lives of Davenport, Iowa’s earliest German settlers, people who chose Davenport as a place of political refuge and who gave and demanded much of their new community. At times, their heritage and beliefs would place them on a collision course with fellow citizens with different but equally deeply felt beliefs. The conflicts played out against the backdrop of national events occurring less than a hundred years after the city’s founding and just a few years after the Andresen was built. The changes that followed and the shift in how Davenporters lived in their city forever altered the course of the neighborhood, the building, and the citizens who peopled both. Built by German immigrant H. H. Andresen in 1900, the Flats dominates its corner at Western Avenue and West 3rd Street in downtown Davenport. The city is located at one of the points where the Mississippi River’s flow is diverted from its north/south orientation to run west.

Ask the Enemy: Iowa's African American Regiment in the Civil War." The Annals of Iowa 66 (2007), 266-292. Available at: http://ir.uiowa.edu/annals-of-iowa/vol66/iss3/3 Hosted by Iowa Research Online “Will They Fight? Ask the Enemy”: Iowa’s African American Regiment in the Civil War DAVID BRODNAX SR. SOME FIFTY YEARS AGO Dudley Cornish’s groundbreak- ing book, The Sable Arm, called attention to the extent and im- portance of the African American military presence in the Civil War.1 But with the exception of the famous 54th Massachusetts Infantry, whose service was later dramatized in the film Glory, the nation’s individual African American regiments have not, as a rule, attracted much serious historical research. Iowa’s African American regiment, the First Iowa Volunteers (African Descent), later redesignated the 60th United States Colored In- fantry, has suffered from that general neglect. The first historian to take note of the regiment was Hubert Wubben, who recorded the existence of the “First Iowa African Infantry,” as he termed it, but little more. He wrote only that it was organized in 1863 and that it “saw no combat, but per- formed guard and garrison duty in St. Louis and in other parts of the lower Mississippi Valley.” This brief summation hardly did justice to the regiment’s experience, but at least Wubben provided a reference citing official records where materials for 1.

  • 100335 City of Davenport Green City.Pdf
    Recycled paper? Check. Hybrid cars in fleet? Yes. LED traffic signals? Years ago. Waterless urninals? Sure, along with an internationally recognized sewage treatment plant. Green roofs? Brown at the moment, but Spring will soon be here. Home grown fuels? Of course, this is Iowa. CNU membership? That, a revised zoning code and multiple new urban projects underway. Signatory to the US Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement? Done. Paperless office? Ah…we’re trying… The City of Davenport’s “Green City” initiative is a key strategy to lead the revitalization of our region. A historic city on the banks of the Mississippi in the heart of the farm belt, Davenport long led the Quad Cities with a proud manufacturing history. But, like many old manufacturing cities, we lost jobs by the hundreds and thousands and suffered double digit percentage population losses as globalized manufacturing hit the community hard as the last century closed. Some thought Davenport was to be another cast off America city, who had seen its heyday and now watched on the sidelines as the nation recast its lot with sprawling sunbelt and suburban communities. As a national strategy, urban disinvestment is neither pretty nor sustainable. Luckily, Davenport suffers neither from a lack of Midwestern resilience nor pluck. We are the place where railroads first crossed the Mississippi, opening the west and giving jazz to the nation as river roots music traveled up the river and morphed east / west along the tracks. We are the largest American city that lives with the river that gives us life without costly and environmentally suspect levees (more on this to follow).
