Klein presents a fully researched and documented study of the life of this Iowa pioneer who deserves a much greater reputation than he has so far achieved. This first white settler in Iowa lived in harmony with his Native American neighbors in the Upper Mississippi River Valley, engaging in farming, lead mining, general trading at a time when the United States was just in its early formation period with its thirteen colonies on the east coast. Dubuque, however, was living in the western wilderness on lands controlled by Spain, France, or England--at various times. He established a small trading post where a village of 30 or so people worked and lived in the backwoods. This book describes the life and times of this intrepid Frenchman--Julien Dubuque"--Dust jacket. 600 10 $a Dubuque, Julien, $d 1762-1810. 650 0 $a Pioneers $z Iowa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Mississippi River Valley. $9 24746 651 0 $a Dubuque (Iowa) $x History. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Occasional publications (Loras College.
