Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from George Wallace Jones
The history of beginnings in the Common wealths of the Upper Mississippi Valley would be incomplete without the story of George Wallace Jones who as Delegate to Congress from the Territory of Michigan secured the creation of the Territory of Wisconsin, who as Delegate from that Territory in turn brought about the establishment of the Territory of Iowa, and who, together with Augustus Caesar Dodge, first represented the State of Iowa in the United States Senate.
It is the purpose of this volume to portray the life of George Wallace Jones primarily by means of his own Autobiography and Personal Recollections - which are here published for the first time - and secondarily by a brief Biographical Sketch which it is hoped will serve to fill in details left untold by Jones and to fur nish a consecutive outline of the incidents of his career, among which the autobiographer rambled at times somewhat confusedly.
