Where the Tall Corn Grows

By Joe Wiegand, Medora’s TR


4/28/2020


A Celebration of TR’s Day in Iowa and of Congressman John
Fletcher Lacey of the Lacey Act (1900) and the Monuments &
Antiquities Act (1906).  


Before dawn, on Tuesday, April 28, 1903, TR departed Omaha,
Nebraska by special train for a daylong tour of Iowa. He would
make speeches, first in Shenandoah, then Clarinda, Sharpsburg,
Van Wert, Osceola, two speeches in Des Moines, concluding in
Oskaloosa and Ottumwa. Keokuk would have its turn the next day.
Clear across the state in one day from west to east, and you can
come along for the ride!
