History of the Constitutions of Iowa (Esprios Classics)
Benjamin Franklin Shambaugh (29 January 1871 in Elvira, Iowa - 7 April 1948 in Iowa City) was a US historian and political scientist. He was a professor at the State University of Iowa, later the University of Iowa, and served as president of the American Political Science Association (APSA) in 1929/30. Shambaugh graduated with a bachelor's degree from what was then the State University of Iowa in 1892 and with a master's degree a year later. In 1895, he received his Ph. D. from the University of Pennsylvania. This was followed by a year of study in Germany. In 1896 he returned to the State University of Iowa, where he worked as a lecturer and professor of political science until 1940.
Benjamin Shambaugh and the Intellectual Foundations of Public Hisory
Conard draws upon an unpublished, mid-1940s biography by research historian Jacob Swisher to trace the forces that shaped Shambaugh's early years, his administration of the State Historical Society of Iowa, his development of applied history and commonwealth history in the 1910s and 1920s, and the transformations in his thinking and career during the 1930s. Framing this intriguingly interwoven narrative are chapters that contextualize Shambaugh's professional development within the development of the historical profession as a whole in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and assess his career within the post-World War II emergence of the modern public history movement.
