Offered now, for the first time since they were uncovered, this photographic collection is a stunning display of authentic Americana. A chronicle of the heartland, in West-central Iowa from a century ago.

Take a trip through time with this beautiful coffee table edition (and paperback version) of Iowa Farm Wife, the amazing photographs of a hardy second-generation English immigrant woman. Born in 1890, she married a second-generation German immigrant farmer. Here is her story in photographs.
