About this title

Synopsis

"The Sale of War Bonds in Iowa" provides a detailed historical and economic account of the mobilization of financial resources in the state of Iowa during World War I. Written by Nathaniel R. Whitney, this work examines the administrative and social mechanisms used to facilitate the various Liberty Loan campaigns that funded the American war effort. The book explores the organizational structures established at the state and local levels, the patriotic motivations that drove record-breaking participation, and the specific challenges faced by organizers in a predominantly agricultural region.

By documenting the methods of promotion, the quotas assigned to various counties, and the eventual success of these financial drives, Whitney offers a unique perspective on the American home front. This study is not only a record of fiscal policy but also a sociological look at how a Midwestern state demonstrated its loyalty and economic power during a period of global crisis. "The Sale of War Bonds in Iowa" serves as an essential resource for those interested in Iowa history, military finance, and the collective efforts of American citizens during the Great War.
