Clinton Iowa: Railroad Town By Deborah Morse-Kahn and Joe Trnka This 48-page book highlights the story of the City of Clinton as a critical early railroad crossing point over the Mississippi River, which connected Iowa to Chicago and the eastern markets. One of the main topics of the book is the Chicago & North Western Railroad, a major employer for generations of Clinton families, and a major factor in the development of the city's identity. Eighty historic black-and-white photographs from the Clinton County Historical Society, the State Historical Society of Iowa, the Chicago & North Western Historical Society, the Library of Congress, and private collections lavishly illustrate the book, which is written in an engaging style that is easy to read. Clinton, Iowa: Railroad Town is co-authored by Deborah Morse-Kahn, a regional studies specialist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Joe Trnka, an Environmental Scientist for the Howard R. Green Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. | |
