Bohemia Versus Iowa Population and Industry Compared
Frank W. Mahin compares Bohemia and Iowa, noting Bohemia's dense population and varied industries versus Iowa's growing towns and need for more manufacturing. He argues Bohemia expands despite age and limits, while Iowa lags in population growth and factory development despite strong natural advantages. He cites census data showing Bohemia's 1900 population 6,318,280 and Iowa's 2,231,853, with Bohemian towns growing more rapidly in the 10,000-plus category. Mahin reflects on a Bohemian lakeside scene near Reichenberg illustrating local leisure amidst cultural ties to Iowa.
