How Iowa Got Its Name and State Symbols
A Palimpsest summary traces Iowa's naming to the Iowa river and the Ioway band, notes James G Edwards linking Hawkeye to Black Hawk, and outlines the 1838 territorial seal by William B. Conway. It covers the 1847 state seal mottoes, slogans by Eastman and Foster, the 1917 flag design by Dixie Gebhardt, and the 1921 adoption. It also lists early and later Iowa songs and composers associated with the state.
