"IOWA EMIGRANT"
Bits of genealogical information are found in some unexpected places.  A rare book 
on Iowa history, Iowa Emigrant, by Isaac Galland, was published in 1840 in Chillicothe, 
Ohio.  It tells about the new Iowa Territory.  And where you'd least expect it-genealogy.  
Perhaps some of these names and places, keeping in mind this was published in 1840, will 
be familiar to you.
