1912 History of Jefferson County
|
|
In 2014 I came across the "History of Jefferson County Iowa - A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement" by Charles J. Fulton, published by the S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago, in 1912 (in 1914 according to some citations). This publication has two volumes; Volume 1 deals with the early history of the area before Iowa was a state and continues through 1910, and Volume 2 contains biographies of many local prominent people. These biographies were posted on our county Biographies Board several years ago, and are listed on a separate webpage. Following is the Table of Contents for Volume 1.
