Address by John A Hull on the Iowa pioneer and the state college
In a fiery independence day speech, John A Hull honors Iowa settlers, the founding of the State Agricultural College and Model Farm in 1859, and the plain people who built central Iowa. He links labor, education, and democracy to the pioneer heritage and warns against predatory wealth.
