Flanked on either side by two of the nation's mightiest rivers, Iowa's fertile rolling hills have made it one of the country's leading sources of agriculture. Readers will discover what grows in Iowa's vast, sprawling fields. They will also learn how the state was founded, what role it has played in U.S. history, and what life is like today in the Hawkeye State. This revised third edition takes an updated look at the geography, history, government, people, culture, and attractions of Iowa.
