  • 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.

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.

  • The Rock Island Arsenal and Rock Island in the World Wars
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2020 Volume XI, Spring 2020 ISSN 2153-1714 ‘Rock Island Needs Machinists’: The Rock Island Arsenal and Rock Island in the World Wars By Jordan Monson Western Illinois University “Availability of workers… was vital to the successful operation of Rock Island Arsenal in the World War, just as it must be in any future military crisis in which the country may become involved.”1 Industries and businesses have a huge impact on the development of a community. No business can be successful without labor provided by communities, and communities rarely grow without the availability of jobs provided by businesses. In this same way, the Rock Island Arsenal has had a huge impact on the surrounding communities of Rock Island, Moline, Davenport, and Bettendorf, collectively known as the Quad Cities. Indeed, in an article published in 2018, Aarik Woods points out that the Rock Island Arsenal is far and away the largest employer in the region, and the economic impact of the Arsenal on the Quad Cities was more than one billion dollars.2 With that large of an economic impact, it is safe to say that the success of the Arsenal and the success of the Quad Cities are tied at the hip. However, the Rock Island Arsenal often goes through extreme variation in production and employment numbers, with “The Arsenal’s employment and production traditionally being cyclical in nature… increasing during national emergencies and declining during peacetime.”3 These mobilization and demobilization patterns of the Arsenal were most pronounced during the period between the first and second world wars.

  • Moline Bikeways Plan
    MOLINE BIKEWAYS PLAN REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MOLINE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TEAM (MATT) Mayor Don Welvaert Jeff Anderson Laura Duran John Knaack Donnie Miller Mike Crotty Rod Hawk Dean Mathias Dan Osterman Doug DeLille Scott Hinton Dan McNeil Kevin Schoonmaker March 2011 REPORT SUMMARY In June of 2010, Moline Mayor Don Welvaert appointed the Moline Alternative Transportation Team (MATT). This city and citizen group was charged with making recommendations related to improving bicycling and walking in the community. One of the first efforts identified by MATT was development of the Moline Bikeways Plan. This plan is intended to provide a blueprint for developing a system of connected bicycle routes throughout the city and adjoining cities to encourage bicycling as a means of enhancing the community quality of life, supporting development efforts, promoting healthful activity, and reducing the city’s carbon footprint. The Moline Alternative Transportation Team recommends the following: That Moline’s Bikeways Plan compliments and enhances Moline’s Comprehensive Plan; and That the Quad Cities Area “Complete Streets” Policy shall be the guiding philosophy of the bikeways plan; and That the bikeways system identified will ultimately place each and every resident and business within a half-mile of a bikeway; and That as the location of the Quad City International Airport, and the proposed passenger rail station Moline should provide bicycle access and amenities to these facilities for all QC residents and visitors; and That the city pursue Bicycle Friendly Community, Business, and University designations as awarded by the League of American Bicyclists; and That Moline’s Bikeways Plan shall be submitted for inclusion in 2040 Quad Cities Area Long Range Transportation Plan.
