Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Messages and Proclamations, Vol. 2: Of the Governors of Iowa The messages and proclamations of the Governors of Iowa which are included in this volume are from one of the most noteworthy periods in the political history of the Commonwealth. The election of James W. Grimes in 1854, the organization of the Republican Party in 1856, the adoption of the Constitution in 1857, the call for vol unteers in 1861, and the loyal support of the Union during the Civil War give to the administrations of Grimes, Lowe, and Kirkwood an interest and importance unsurpassed by any other three successive administrations in our political history.
