Title

African-American History in Mahaska County; Iowa

Description

African-Americans played a very serious role in Mahaska County, Iowa history. From its early inception, African-Americans have participated in major events that determined the prosperity of the county. When Mahaska County was a major coal extractor in Iowa and the United States, African-Americans hard work and effort helped make this happen. Local businesses owned and operated by African-Americans gave the citizens of Mahaska County dependability and great service. From the Civil War until the present day, African-Americans have gave their service and lives in honor of the United States, Iowa, and Mahaska County. Pictured here are two African-Americans with a mule between 1890 and 1900 in Mahaska County, Iowa.

Young men like the ones pictures here were responsible for the Central Powers' defeat.

Title

World War I Welcome Home Parade, 1919; Oskaloosa; Iowa;

Description

World War I officially ended with the signing of an armistice between the Allied Powers and Germany on November 11, 1918. However, the American troops stationed in Europe would remain on the continent for weeks and months following the Great War, as transportation back to America did not occur overnight. Pictured here are veterans returning from World War I in Oskaloosa, Iowa. A parade was held to honor the return of these brave soldiers who fought for the liberty of the United States. Probably more meaningful than anything else to the veterans pictured here was the banner that simply said "home".

Armistice Day Parade, November, 1918; Oskaloosa; Iowa;

Description

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month of 1918, the Allies successfully signed an armistice agreement with Germany in Rethondes, France. Aside from huge celebration for this occasion across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the United States also shared in this celebration. As an example of that, pictured here is a float that participated in the Armistice Day parade that followed the treaty in Oskaloosa, Iowa. This sight would have been a familiar one across America in the days and weeks that ensued following Germany's surrender. This particular float was sponsored by H.S. Rhynsburger's poultry, eggs, and cream establishment, allowing them to creatively advertise their business while also celebrating the end of World War I.
