Emigrant letter praises Iowa frontier to West readers
J M McEnoy signs a second piece urging readers to consider settled Iowa over raw prairie land for homesteads. He notes Iowa’s health, cold winters, good schools, no state debt, and strong farm opportunities near the Mississippi. He argues families gain educational and social benefits locally and cautions against rushing westward for land.
