Iowa's Newsworthy Past
No bells or whistles, just a read through select columns in historical Iowa newspapers on this day in history. Some readings may be shaky due to the quality of the scan and verbiage of the time. Access to these newspapers has been acquired digitally through the University of Northern Iowa's Iowa Historical Newspapers index. Many thanks to the folks who put in the work and manage the collection. These readings create a window back in time and are perfect for listening intently or as background, and hopefully stir the imagination!
