Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and times of Lewis Warren Moody, an influential figure in Calhoun County's development. Born in the mountains of Virginia in 1856, Moody moved to Ohio with his family as a boy. After the Civil War, they settled in Calhoun County, Iowa, where Moody played a pivotal role in establishing and shaping the county. He helped open up vast tracts of land for settlement, and his advocacy led to the passage of a law enabling the drainage of extensive swamp areas, greatly increasing land values. Moody was also a successful businessman, serving as president of the First National Bank of Pomeroy and owning land in various western states. The book highlights Moody's determination, problem-solving abilities, and dedication to improving his community, offering insights into his character and the transformative impact he had on Calhoun County.
