Klein presents a fully researched and documented study of the life of Iowa pioneer, Julien Dubuque, 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, and 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.
