Palimpsest, 1980
In the fall of 1876, British land agent Janies Lonsdale Broderick travelled to Dubuque to visit friends and relatives who had emigrated from England to northeastern Iowa in previous years. The 35-year-old Broderick made his home in S waled ale, in northern England, where his family had been prominent for many generations. The transplanted Englishmen who entertained him in Dubuque felt a strong sense of ethnic cohesiveness in their new country, particularly in their distinctive dialect and maintenance of extended family ties. Broderick's travel journal, published by the Society in 1976 under the title The Character of the Country, describes in detail the progress of these English emigrants and much more besides. The journal includes observations of American manners, frontier enterprise, and local personalities which provide a refreshingly candid view of nineteenth-century life in Iowa. The excerpts from The Character of the Country reprinted here cover some of Broderick's activities in Iowa during the winter and early spring of 1876-1877. Original spelling and punctuation have been retained th roughout.
