Synopsis

This book provides a historical and analytical study of poor relief legislation in the state of Iowa, a region previously governed by the Northwest Territory and the Territory of Michigan. Tracing legislative evolution from 1838 through 1914, this book examines the role of various public officials and general methods of poor relief employed during that time. Analysing special classes of dependents and state control of poor relief, the author highlights legislative efforts to improve Iowa's poorhouse and outdoor relief systems and formulate preventative measures, revealing the progression of poor relief in Iowa from a rudimentary system into one addressing modern, scientific ideals.
