Summary:Indian agent Joseph Street said it well in 1833 when he described his trip across Iowa: & ldquo;I had never rode through a country so full of game. & rdquo; In the early 1800s Iowa's deep soil, free-flowing rivers and streams, and favorable climate had combined to produce the welcoming habitats that supported a surprising variety of animals. In his engaging, intelligent book, James Dinsmore has created the first comprehensive history of this abounding wildlife from the arrival of Euro-American explorers to the present day.
