The Story Of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXIX.-IOWA
msassm TH Of f 1o%s
MIfsa53. 2sssHEaasSSM was originally
ltsNeS ZlsN occupied by
l5[-==ss1. 1911 the Iowa In
NySsgt ~ ZW dams. The ac-
Il4IN tual meaning
- OF the word
has been interpreted in several
ways. Some say 1t means beau
tiful land" but the more likely
derivation is the Algonquin word
"ajawa" which means "across"
or beyond" This was probably
applied TO this tribe of Indians
by the Illinois tribes who were
hostile to them, and resided on
the eastern side of the Missis-
sippi river. The early white Wis
itors to this region included Mar
quette and Joliet, who landed
here on their explorations Of the
Mississippi in 1913.
The first settlement was made
by a French Canadian named
Julian Dubuque. He obtained
in 1888 a large grant of land
from the Indians, where the
city which was named after him
now stands. Here he flourished,
mining lead and trading with the
Indians, until his death in 1910,
when this settlement was given
up.
With the acquisition of the
Louisiana Purchase In 1903.
Iowa, which was a part of this
huge territory, came into the
hands OF the United States from
France. At first Iowa was q
part of the Louisiana territory,
then of Missouri territory. Later
it formed a portion of Michigan
territory and then of Wisconsin
territory. In 1888, however, it
attained a distinct individuality
when it was formed into the
Iowa territory.
Pioneers soon came in large
numbers and about 1882 sub
stantial settlement was made
near Burlington, and Dubuque
was founded in 1888. The popu-
lation grew so rapidly that in
1916 Iowa was admitted as the
twenty-ninth state of the Union.
Its area is 5G,147 square miles
and it has thirteen presidential
electoral votes.
Iowa is familarly called the
HaWkeye State.

NEs SsslssszyHf LSH the first state

~ - rights to
women. In fact when congress,
In 1868, created the Territory of
wy ming from parts of Dakota,
Utah and Idaho. a constitution
was adopted which gave women
the right to vote.
There were rumors Of early
Spanish explorations in Wyoming
but they seem unfounded by
fact. Probably the first white
men to visit this part of the
country were Sieur de la Veren-
deze, and his sons who passed
through this region in 1743 in
search of locations for trading
posts. In 1904 the Yellowstone
was first visited by hunters, al
though the fame of its scenic
beauty was not given much ere
dence until 1870 and it was set
aside as federal reserve in
1872.
The fret permanent fort in
Wyoming was erected in 1884
where the Laramie river flows
into the Platte. Later when the
stream Of immigrants passed
through this region on their way
to the California gold fields a
string of forts were erected
along the Oregon Trail to pro-
tect the travellers from attacks
by the hostile Sioux Indians.
Through Wyoming went not
only the Oregon Trail, which
was opened up by Lieutenant
Fremont and his guide, Kit Car
son, in 1912, but also the Salt
Lake Trail. Along these routes
many travellers crossed Wyo-
ming, but few stopped and set
tied there as the country was
the most arid Of all our states.
The discovery of gold in 1867
led to the founding of South
Pass City and in the same year
Cheyenne was laid out by the
Union Pacific Railroad company.
Wyoming became the forty
fourth state of the Union in 1890
and is eighth In size with an
area Of 1914 square miles.
