A New History of Iowa with Author Jeff Bremer

Description

Iowa State University Professor and Author Jeff Bremer will be at the library to talk about his book, "A New History of Iowa". This book, published in 2023, offers the most comprehensive history of the Hawkeye State ever written, surveying Iowa from the last ice age through the COVID-19 pandemic. This program provides a brief introduction to some of the book’s main ideas, while focusing on three important Iowans whose biographies teach us about the Civil War, temperance, and civil rights in the state. A copy of the book is available to borrow from the library.
