TAMA COUNTY

Lincoln Highway County Consul (1924): E.L. Beard.

"Travelers are now in the Mesquakie (formerly Tama) Indian Reservation.  Alice Ramsey and her friends marveled at the Indians here: 'None of us had ever seen so many Indians before and we were thrilled by the new experience.'   (This was only nineteen years after the disaster at Wounded Knee, marking the end of the Indian Wars)."

- Gregory Franzwa, The Lincoln Highway: Volume 1 Iowa
