Local Man Claims Stone Dam Near Amana Built by Whites
DH Marvin of 225 Seventeenth Street NE disputes Iowa scientists about the origin of a stone dam on the Iowa river near Amana. He and his father helped build the dam in 1888 or 1889 as a fish trap using local rock, and Marvin argues the structure is of white construction rather than prehistoric Indian origin.
