Carnegie-Stout Public Library – Throughout the Ages by Susan A
Carnegie-Stout Public Library – Throughout the Ages by Susan A. Henricks, Ph.D., Library Director, and edited by Rosemary Kramer, Secretary, Library Board of Trustees © 2021 The History of Library Service in Dubuque, Iowa For many of us, one of our fondest memories revolves around getting a library card. Libraries are a quintessential part of how we learn and engage with the local community. Carnegie-Stout has a rich history of meeting its community’s educational, recreational, and informational needs. What follows tells the story of Carnegie-Stout. The Young Men’s Library Association In June 1856, a group of young professional men who had moved here from the eastern United States decided to introduce a “course of lectures” for that winter on “literary and scientific subjects, the object being to improve knowledge and improve the public taste of their chosen home.”1 During the second year of lectures a tidy profit was made and it was decided that they should purchase books. The members met with attorney J. S. Blatchley, who had a collection of 150 books that he rented out from his office for $5.00 per year. Blatchley agreed to turn his books over to the lecture society because it meant the collection could be doubled and his members would enjoy a free reading ticket for a year as part of the deal. In March of 1859 the organization was incorporated by the “15 young men, who were the leading spirits in all intellectual movements in this progressive Iowa city of about 14,000 inhabitants”2 as the Young Men’s Literary Association.

TRAVEL TIPS for NATIONALS 2017 Exploring the Tri-State Area (Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin)
TRAVEL TIPS FOR NATIONALS 2017 Exploring the Tri-State Area (Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin) REALLY IMPORTANT TIP: Always, always keep your parking meter fed in Dubuque (Saturdays too)!!!! A Brief (Very Brief) History of Dubuque (see www.encyclopediadubuque.org for more) In 1788, Julien Dubuque, a French-Canadian, was granted rights by the Mesquakie (aka Meskwaki) Indians to mine their land for lead; he settled near the mouth of Catfish Creek (now part of the State Park, Mines of Spain Recreation Area). Dubuque, for whom the city is named, is considered to be the first white man to settle in Iowa, making Dubuque the oldest City in Iowa. For followers of the “Triple Crown Race”, La Classique internationale de Canots de la Mauricie (Shawinigan) in Quebec, Canada, Julien Dubuque, was born in Trois-Rivières (his childhood cradle is located in the Mississippi River Museum). Imagine the journey he made by water to arrive here! So, it is somehow fitting that the 50th Annual USCA National Championships should be held on “the Father of Waters,” the 2nd longest river in the United States, 4th longest in the world (including Missouri and Jefferson River feeds). In 1965, after severe flooding of much of the downtown area, a flood wall was built to protect Dubuque’s citizens and structures from future flooding, so much of the waterfront is rimmed in native limestone and protected by flood gates. Chaplain Schmitt Island, (named after Father Aloysius H. Schmitt) aka City Island, is Race HQ for Nationals 2017. Formerly an airport, a city dump site and a car racing track, it is now a recreational area, with a hiking/biking trail, an indoor iceskating arena (open to the public), baseball fields, boat docks, Dubuque Water Sports Club, Miller Riverview Park Campground, casino, hotel.

The HPC sup- HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITMENT ports the use of these codes. Commitment The City of Dubuque’s commitment to historic preservation began in the mid 1970’s as the community reacted to the wholesale clearance of downtown blocks through urban renewal programs.

Masterpiece on the Mississippi (Pdf)
“MASTERPIECE ON THE MISSISSIPPI” DUBUQUE, IOWA THE FRENCH CONNECTION The town of Dubuque was founded in the 18th century by Julien Dubuque, a French explorer born in Quebec. He was one of the first settlers to arrive in this part of the country that was then home to the Meskwaki (Fox). These Indians lived in bark-covered dwellings while mining the area for lead and carrying on a thriving fur trade with French voyagers along the Mississippi River. Dubuque obtained permission to mine lead on Indian land and became a lifelong friend of the Indian leader, Chief Peosta. Some believe that Julien Dubuque and his Indian wife, Potosa Dubuque may have married Peosta’s daughter, Potosa. The towns of Dubuque and nearby Peosta are named after these two lifelong friends, and in nearby Wisconsin there is a town named after Potosa. Dubuque’s and Peosta’s graves are located near each other on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. THE SPANISH CONNECTION The Fox Indians lived and mined in this area, but their land had been claimed by the Spanish who in turn granted trading licenses to French and British traders along the Mississippi River. Although the Indians had allowed Julien Dubuque to mine lead on their land, he sought official permission from the Governor of Spain in order to continue. In 1796 he was granted legal right to 189 square miles of land which he then called "The Mines of Spain” as a tribute to the Spanish governor. Lead mining remained an important industry in this area Julien Dubuque monument at the Mines of Spain throughout the nineteenth century but began to wane after the Civil War.
