This book is VOLUME 2 ONLY. It includes a 35 page comprehensive index for both volumes. Volume 2 concludes the history of Iowa thru 1952 by William J. Petersen. The author earned the nickname Mr. Iowa History because of his prolific research and writing about his native state. He authored several other books on Iowa and the Mississippi River and wrote more than 400 articles for magazines and scholarly journals.
