Excerpt from Robert Lucas Executive Journal of Iowa, 1888-1841, covering the term of Governor Lucas, strengthened the belief that there must be papers in the posses sion of the descendants of the Governor which would add materially to the knowledge concern ing his career. Inquiries were made, and through the kindness of Robert Lucas, of Iowa City, grandson of the Governor, a collection of per haps two thousand manuscripts was placed at the disposal of the author. These included speeches, military commissions and reports, and letters written both in Ohio and in Iowa, bearing dates from 1803 to 1853. Without this material an adequate treatment of the life of Robert Lucas would have been impossible. The utmost gratitude is therefore due to Robert Lucas, the grandson, not only for this first great assistance, but for his many subsequent kind nesses in furthering the work. Aside from this source, valuable material was gathered in Ohio and elsewhere. In the use of quotations the author has followed the practice of editing with exactness, following the original in spelling, punctuation, and capitaliza tion. Citation to authorities and additional items of information will be found under Notes and References at the close of the text.
