On the Riverfront: Ottumwa, Iowa From Turkey Island to the Mixmaster
ISBN: 9781892689511 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ottumwa, Iowa has been a river town from the moment settlers chose the spot along the banks of the Des Moines River in 1844. Islands come and go; water levels rise and fall; floods sweep through; bridges are built, taken down, and rebuilt. The river changes and even moves, but it continues to provide water, food, and fun, supporting industry and transportation - and remaining the heart of the community. Illustrations courtesy of The Lemberger Collection. For more information about the collection, which has been called the largest and best-documented privately-owned photography collection in...

Chief Wapello: The Man, The Leader, The Statue
ISBN: 9781892689931 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When residents of Wapello County, Iowa, mention Chief Wapello, sometimes they mean the Native American who is the county's namesake - chief of the confederated tribes of Sacs and Foxes and the successor of Chief Black Hawk of Black Hawk War fame. And sometimes they mean the sheet-copper statue of a Native American which stands atop the roof of the Wapello County Courthouse. Though he's affectionately called Chief Wapello, the statue wears a war bonnet of a sort that the peace-loving chief of the Sac and Fox would never have donned. Chief Wapello: The Man, The Leader, The Statue looks at the...

Railroads of Southeast Iowa: Photographs from the Lemberger Collection
ISBN: 9781892689917 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Though early settlement in Iowa followed the rivers, it was the advent of the railroads, starting in the late 1850s, which opened up the remainder of the state for development -- bringing goods to residents and sending their crops and products out to the world. Railroads formed the backbone of middle America, with dozens of trains -- freight and passenger -- reaching out to nearly every small town in the region. This collection of photographs from the 1800s to the present day celebrates the railroads and railroaders of southeast Iowa.

Ottumwa
ISBN: 9781531624729 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Long one of Iowa's most important industrial cities, Ottumwa was established on the banks of the Des Moines River in 1843. The river was both a blessing, providing transportation as well as ice for early meatpacking plants, and a curse, inundating the city with periodic floods until it was tamed in the latter half of the 20th century. This collection of vintage photographs highlights the city's industries and laboring people, the river's role in the shaping of the community, and Ottumwa's unique place in history as the location of the Iowa Coal Palace and Industrial Exhibits of 1890 and 1891...
