Abstract

The history of Iowa is the collective experience of the people who have lived within particular geographic boundaries over time. To the degree that these boundaries simply superimposed political whim over previously undefined geography, the very concept of an "Iowa history" is artificial. State boundaries have little effect on settlement patterns, transportation networks, cultural institutions, and the ebb and flow of ideas. Iowa's history is common with its neighbors and with the nation as a whole.
