One hundred years ago, Cedar Rapids was nicknamed "The Parlor City" and "Queen City," and was known for its massive grain processing plants. Today, Cedar Rapids is known not only for its agricultural products, but also for its communications industries ranging from radio to avionics manufacturing to telecommunications. Cedar Rapids, Iowa focuses on the uniquely progressive heritage of the city, since its founding in 1842. The major institutions that made Cedar Rapids what it is today are included here in over 200 historic images from the collection of the History Center. Union Station, featured on the cover, was completed in 1897 and instantly became an impressive and fashionable gateway to the city. Other photographs look at the city's growth during the 1920s and '30s, when such structures as the Federal Building and Post Office, the Paramount Theatre, and the Art Center opened. This book focuses on Cedar Rapids from its early days as a "Parlor City" to its development of a "modern city" skyline in the late 1960s.

Cedar Rapids is the only city in America to house its government offices on an island. But tons of other iconic structures that defined the city are no longer around. The Little Gallery on First Avenue was created to showcase local artists. Yager's "moved up to bring prices down." The area was home to thirty-nine theaters, including two from 1928 that are still in operation. From the hotels to the factories, the ethnic districts to the depots, the dance halls to the amusement parks, these are the places that made a difference in the City of Five Seasons. Local author Pete Looney traces the history of the structures.

“Fantastic . . . Sheds new light on the case . . . No stone is left unturned . . . Provides a remarkable snapshot of life in Cedar Rapids in the late 1940s” (The Gazette). Byron C. Hattman sealed his fate when he checked into the Roosevelt Hotel on December 13, 1948. A maid found his body in a blood-spattered room two days later. An investigation linked him to the young wife of St. Louis pediatrician Robert C. Rutledge, who confessed to the brutal attack after trying to poison himself. The scandal made national headlines and seemed like an easy case for the Linn County court. That is, until new evidence changed the story completely. Reporter and author Diane Fannon-Langton uncovers the truth and compiles the complete details of the Hattman slaying for the first time. Includes photos!

Synopsis Sylvanius Davidson Smith was born in Randolph County, Indiana January 15, 1882, to a poor farmer and his wife. His father, David Richmond Smith, was half Indian and his mother a relative of Stonewall Jackson. They were poor AShare-croppers. His life was happy and typical of poor farm folks of the times, until, when he was seven years old, he lost the sight in his right eye while playing with his cousins who had a bow and arrows. When he was eleven his father left the family, a wife and six children, taking his oldest son, a half brother to Sylvanius and the other five children with him. It became necessary for Sylvanius's mother to move her family to town and take in washings and ironings, trying to make a living for them. Sylvanius became her pardner by running errands for neighbors, earning a dime or a nickel, he helped a farmer weed gardens and cut wood. His mother began to call him her "pardner" and his siblings just called him "Pard". He had to drop out of school after the fifth grade because of a lack of money for clothes and school books. The first three years of their city life were a struggle to exist, and without help from an uncle, they couldn't have made it through the first cold winters. It helped when he got a paper route, but they were still the poorest of the poor until, at age fourteen, he got a job in a factory by lying about his age. Life was getting better for the family until his mother re-married when he was sixteen. The handsome man she married was a bum, he wouldn't keep a job, he drank and "womanized". Pard endured supporting him too for awhile; then, decided to find his own father and live with him. Pard, his father called him Vet, traveled with his father from Detroit to Canada, back to Michigan
