About This Item
Ames IA: Iowa State University Press, 1985. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover, 254 pages. A very clean hardcover edition in dust jacket and INSCRIBED BY HARNACK on the title page. The book 'focuses on the formation in the 1880s of a colony of upper-class British immigrants who viewed Iowa pioneering as a way of perpetuating the Victorian gentleman's code. It covers a broad range of social history of the latter part of the 19th century, from London drawing rooms to Iowa pig farms, and includes a careful scrutiny of Walter and James Cowan, brothers who were typical of Victorian gentlemen in this special venture'.
