Commemorate Iowa’s 175th year of statehood with the Iowa History Book Club. Join Annals of Iowa Editor Andrew Klumpp for a discussion about Dorothy Schwieder’s “Iowa: The Middle Land,” an engrossing history of the Hawkeye State that 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’ve led – the accomplishments of both ordinary and not-so-ordinary Iowans.
