“The publication of Iowa: The Middle Land is a landmark event for Iowa history.”—Annals of Iowa

“Schwieder’s study has several features that recommend it to those interested in Iowa and Midwestern history.”—Choice

In this engrossing history of the Hawkeye State, Dorothy Schweider reveals a place of fascinating grassroots politics, economic troubles and triumphs, surprising cultural diversity, and unsung natural beauty. Above all, this is the history of the people of Iowa and the lives they have led—the accomplishments of both ordinary and not-so-ordinary Iowans.
