  • 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 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.

  • Symposium on the Gray Squirrel
    SYMPOSIUM ON THE GRAY SQUIRREL INTRODUCTION This symposium is an innovation in the regional meetings of professional game and fish personnel. When I was asked to serve as chairman of the Technical Game Sessions of the 13th Annual Conference of the Southeastern Association of Game and Fish Commissioners this seemed to be an excellent opportunity to collect most of the people who have done some research on the gray squirrel to exchange information and ideas and to summarize some of this work for the benefit of game managers and other biologists. Many of these people were not from the southeast and surprisingly not one of the panel mem­ bers is presenting a general resume of one aspect of squirrel biology with which he is most familiar. The gray squirrel is also important in Great Britain but because it causes extensive damage to forests. Much work has been done over there by Monica Shorten (Mrs. Vizoso) and a symposium on the gray squirrel would not be complete without her presence. A grant from the National Science Foundation through the American Institute of Biological Sciences made it possible to bring Mrs. Vizoso here. It is hoped that this symposium will set a precedent for other symposia at future wildlife conferences. VAGN FLYGER.

Nonetheless, there is a significant degree to which it tends to be organized and articulated through the local. This contribution argues that while the political limitations of purely local modes of organization are clear, it should not be assumed that local struggles are some sort of misguided distraction from building a broader progressive movement. It is suggested that, on the contrary, the best prospects for the emergence of a broader popular struggle lie in building, sustaining and linking local struggles.

An independent study dissertation, submitted to the university of derby in partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of bachelor of science. Single honours in third world development. Course code: L9L3. March 2010 Relocation, relocation, marginalisation: development, and grassroots struggles to transform politics in urban south africa. Abstract 2 Society in post-apartheid South Africa is highly polarised. Although racial apartheid ended in 1994, this paper shows that an economic and spatial apartheid is still in place. The country has been neoliberalised, and this paper concludes that a virtual democracy is in place, where the poor are excluded from decision-making. Urban shack-dwellers are constantly under threat of being evicted (often illegally) and relocated to peri-urban areas, where they become further marginalised. The further away from city centres they live, the less employment and education opportunities are available to them. The African National Congress (ANC) government claims to be moving the shack-dwellers to decent housing with better facilities, although there have been claims that these houses are of poor quality, and that they are in marginal areas where transport is far too expensive for residents to commute to the city for employment. The ANC is promoting ‘World Class Cities’, trying to facilitate economic growth by encouraging investment. They are spending much on the 2010 World Cup, and have been using the language of ‘slum elimination’.

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.
