Excerpt from The Territorial Governors of the Old Northwest: A Study in Territorial AdministrationAs a geographical area the Iowa country became a part of the United States through the purchase of the Province of Louisiana in 1803: and so territorial descent is traced through the District of Louisiana, the Territory of Louisiana, and the Territory of Missouri.On the other hand the political inheritances of Iowa, which are Anglo-American, were transmitted through the Territories of the Old Northwest - especially the Northwest Territory, the Indiana Territory, the Territory of Michigan, and the original Territory of Wisconsin. Thus the study of the evolution of the government and administration of these Territories forms a logical introduction to the constitutional and political history of Iowa. And it is from this viewpoint that The State Historical Society of Iowa has undertaken to publish a book on the Territorial Governors of the Old Northwest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
