Uncle Henry
Founder of Wallaces' Farmer, adviser to Theodore Roosevelt, and consultant to Iowa State College, Uncle Henry Wallace - perhaps more than any writer since Jefferson - spoke of rural society in terms of its significant role in the success of the American democratic vision. This book fills a gap in the history of Midwestern agriculture and the influence of the farm press.
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Conard draws upon an unpublished, mid-1940s biography by research historian Jacob Swisher to trace the forces that shaped Shambaugh's early years, his administration of the State Historical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.
