It begins in 1783 during the last days of British rule and ends with the first generation of news websites. Old yellowed newspapers, rolls of microfilm, and archived web pages not only preserve stories about the history of Florida and the world, but they also give us insight into the people who have worked for the state’s newspapers. This chronology only scratches the surface of a very long and complex story, but hopefully it will serve as a useful reference tool for researchers and journalism historians.

  • THE ANNALS of IOWA 76 (Spring 2017)
    The Annals of Volume 76 Number 2 Iowa Spring 2017 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue ANDERS BO RASMUSSEN, assistant professor of American Studies at the University of Southern Denmark, investigates the actions of Civil War quartermaster Ferdinand Winslow. Using circumstantial evidence from a military “court of inquiry,” supplemented by evidence from Winslow’s career before and after the Civil War, Rasmussen concludes that despite Winslow’s commanding officer’s policies and his own antislavery prin- ciples, he appears to have profited from his position at the expense of the African Americans under the Union army’s care and perhaps at the risk of soldiers’ lives. EDWARD A. GOEDEKEN, Collections Coordinator and Professor of Library and Information Science at the Iowa State University Library, re- counts the efforts of Benjamin Gue, Peter Melendy, and Adonijah Welch after the Civil War to shape the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm into a functioning educational institution. Since Iowa was the first state to agree to the conditions of the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862, it is appro- priate that Goedeken sets his story in the context of debates at that time over what a land-grant college should be. REBECCA CONARD reviews two books about changes in an Iowa woodland and a midwestern marsh. Front Cover Iowa’s woodlands and wetlands have long been threatened by encroaching farmland. Now they face an additional threat from global climate change. See Rebecca Conard’s review essay in this issue. Photo by David B.

Four Men with a Vision: The oundinF g Fathers of the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm and Cornell University Abstract When a casual visitor strolls today across the sprawling campuses of the universities of Iowa State and Cornell, they may find it ah rd to believe that 150 years ago Iowa State consisted of a small handful of buildings and Cornell did not exist at all. That two such remarkable and well-known schools of higher learning even exist at all represents a story both stirring and complex that developed over the course of the early nineteenth century cumulating in the passage of the 1862 Morrill Land Grant Act.
