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. -

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. -

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. -
