Council Bluffs, Iowa - Gold Railroad Spike & Squirrel Cage Jail
Today we stopped in Council Bluffs, Iowa to see one of the remaining 5 states on our USA tour we have yet to visit!
While there, we stayed at Lake Manawa State Park where the campground is right on the lake with great boat access. We also took the scooter into town to see all the local sights. These ranged from a water tower shaped like a Tea Pot, to a HUGE Gold Railroad Spike monument, to a Squirrel Cage Jail with rotated back in the day, to visiting the local Union Pacific Railroad Museum. Afterwards we scootered to Iowa Western Community College where we played Frisbee Golf. What was unique was the one hole where the basket was suspended under a walking bridge over a small stream!

Squirrel Cage jail preview
From the outside it looks like a stately home. Inside it's quite different. Just 18 rotary cell jails were ever built. Most were promptly condemned as unsafe and cruel, but the biggest one lasted the longest, its three story 90,000 pound rotating cell block serving as the Pottawattamie County jail in Council Bluffs, Iowa from 1885 until 1969. It's a museum today, and a favorite of paranormal investigators. The graphic sketches in the video are of the rotary cell jail in Waxahachie, Texas and were drawn by author Mark Pannill.

Dubuque and the Civil War 1/7
Speech by John Pregler at Dubuque Carnegie-Stout Public Library on June 13, 2012. The program is approximately 2 hours and is in 7 segments.
Corrections: There are three misstatements in the videos. [1] Battle of Wislon's Creek was not considered a Union victory even though casualties were about the same. Confederates won the battle field, but the Union army was able to keep Missouri in the Union for the remainder of the war. [2] David Henderson attended Upper Iowa University, not Northern Iowa University. [3] James Grimes was the 3rd, not 2nd governor of the State of Iowa. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Finally, after 5,000 miles on the road and 157 dance clips, the video of my tour of Iowa is complete. Filmed between May and November of 2007, it is my spoof of Matt Harding of wherethehellismatt.com. This video was shot entirely on my Canon PowerShot A540 and started as a goofy way to highlight the places I finally took the opportunity to see in my home state, places I have wanted to see since I was a kid. Trust me, there's a lot to see in the Hawkeye State besides corn and pigs and beans and cows and tractors and barns and silos. Don't believe it? Watch the video.

Yes, that really is Matt Harding dancing with me in the Inspiration by... clip. This summer, I was fortunate enough to dance with Matt with a group in Chicago for Matt's next around-the-world video. It's due out in June 2008. In the meantime:
Lastly, my apologies to Iowa City, Pella, Davenport, Marion, Waterloo, Mason City, Fairfield, Brooklyn, Forest City, Van Wert, and the other hundreds of cities, towns, parks, golf courses, and cool places that I did not have time to visit or shot crappy clips that didn't make the final cut. There is WAY too much in Iowa to see in one summer, but I made a good run at it.
Iowans, get away from your TV's and computers and go see your state!!! You really don't know what you're missing.

The Capture of the 16th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, The Battle of Atlanta, July 22, 1864
My ancestor Charles Case Bacon served the Union Army enlisting with Company F, 16th Iowa Infantry in January of 1862. He mustered out in July of 1865, seeing action in some of the Civil War's bloodiest battles including, Shiloh, Iuka, Corinth, Champions Hill, Vicksburg, Kennesaw Mountain, and the Battle of Atlanta. He was captured at Atlanta on July 22, 1864 and sent to Camp Sumter, better known as Andersonville Prison, where he would remain until September 22, 1864. This is video from Atlanta near where he and his mates were captured 149 years ago. You can see that there is nothing left of this battlefield.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Madison is the capital of the U.S. state of Wisconsin and the seat of Dane County. As of July 1, 2017, Madison's estimated population of 255,214 made it the second-largest city in Wisconsin, after Milwaukee, and the 82nd-largest in the United States. The city forms the core of the United States Census Bureau's Madison Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Dane County and neighboring Iowa, Green, and Columbia counties. The Madison Metropolitan Statistical Area's 2010 population was 568,593.
Founded in 1829 on an isthmus between Lake Monona and Lake Mendota, Madison was named the capital of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836 and became the capital of the state of Wisconsin when it was admitted to the Union in 1848. That same year, the University of Wisconsin was founded in Madison and the state government and university have become the city's two largest employers. The city is also known for its lakes, restaurants, and extensive network of parks and bike trails, with much of the park system designed by landscape architect John Nolen.
Since the 1960s, Madison has been a center of political liberalism. Though Wisconsin is regarded as a battleground or swing state in elections, Madison and Dane County have supported every Democratic Party presidential nominee since John F. Kennedy in 1960, with the party's most recent nominees, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, carrying Dane County with over 70 per cent of the vote in 2008, 2012, and 2016.
