Palimpsest Fragments Reconstructed In Iowa History
The erasure metaphor frames Iowa history as a palimpsest with fragments rescued to be reconstructed in narratives and short articles. The Palimpsest will be edited by John C. Parish. Hepburn's advocacy of women’s rights is cited from Dr. Briggs, noting 1860 positions on property, guardianship, and employment. John A Kasson is identified as real framer of Lincoln era Republican platform, with Greeley praising his work.
