SUMMARY:Darcy Maulsby: Iowa’s Lost History from the Titanic
DESCRIPTION:What do an orphan train rider\, a kidnapper\, a missionary\, a wealthy businessman\, a wedding guest\, a betrayed wife\, a farmer and an immigrant recruiter have in common? All had ties to Iowa\, and all were passengers aboard the ill-fated Titanic on the fateful night of April 15\, 1912\, when the famous ocean liner sank. There were a surprising number of first-\, second- and third-class passengers with Iowa connections\, although many of their haunting\, poignant and sometimes shocking tales have nearly faded away. During this spellbinding voyage\, delve into the human drama intertwined with the Titanic epic\, find out who survived and explore the aftershocks that continue to fascinate us more than a century after the Titanic sank.

SUMMARY:Chad Timm: Working with the Enemy
DESCRIPTION:Working with the Enemy: German\, Italian and Japanese Prisoners of War in Iowa during the Second World WarAs part of a relatively quiet and under-publicized government program\, thousands of enemy soldiers invaded Iowa in 1943. With the hugely successful 1942 Allied campaign against Adolf Hitler’s vaunted Afrika Corps in North Africa\, the number of enemy prisoners of war (POW) needing interment grew dramatically. Great Britain\, no longer able to accommodate the increasing number of POWs\, looked to the United States for help. Helping with the detainment of enemy POWs made sense\, as American cargo vessels were returning home after delivering war materials with empty hulls. \nWhat began as an experiment in isolated locations in the south and southwest eventually led to more than 500 camps and 400\,000 enemy soldiers interned in the United States\, including two camps in the state of Iowa. Due to a severe shortage of agricultural laborers coupled with increased War Food Administration quotas for farm goods\, Iowa’s farmers needed help doing their part to assist the United States in winning the war. \nThis talk will focus on the creation of two POW camps in Iowa during the Second World War: one in the Northern Iowa town of Algona and one in the Southwestern Iowa town of Clarinda. Some of the topics discussed will be life in a prisoner of war camp\, community relations\, the POW labor program\, branch camps in more than 30 Iowa communities and the arrival of Japanese prisoners at Camp Clarinda in early 1945. Camp Clarinda was one of only two camps in the country to house Japanese soldiers. The story of POW interment in Iowa is a fascinating story of Iowans being confronted by the enemy: an enemy they not only needed to help them meet their wartime goals\, but also challenged them to find their humanity.

SUMMARY:Tom Milligan: Cartoons & Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Cartoons & Conservation: A Visit with Ding DarlingIn this 45-minute presentation\, Jay N. “Ding” Darling visits with the audience\, as an old friend\, in his 11th office at The Des Moines Register. Beginning with his early years in Sioux City where as a young boy where he became aware of the natural world around him while developing skills as an editorial cartoonist\, he recalls his remarkable life journey. His story continues to include two Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoons for the Register and a remarkable career as a nationally known conservationist. From the introduction of The Duck Stamp to the creation of the National Wildlife Federation\, Darling’s influence was felt not only through his cartoons but his actions as well. Considered by many to be one of the most important members of the modern conservation movement in the first half of the 20th century\, the impact of his work is still felt today.

SUMMARY:Jeff Stein: From the Battlefront to the Homefront
DESCRIPTION:From the Battlefront to the Homefront: Iowa Broadcasters Go To WarThe bravery of American military members has been well-documented\, often due to the unique reporting done by Iowa-based broadcasters on the scene. This presentation includes segments from a documentary by the same name\, featuring vintage broadcasts and interviews with the journalists who covered conflicts from World War II to the first Gulf War: a 50-year span. Iowa broadcast historian Jeff Stein\, the documentary producer\, tells of the challenges the reporters faced in doing their jobs relaying information to a waiting audience and\, at times\, reassuring them of the safety of Iowans serving thousands of miles away.
