The real invasion and occupation of Iowa country, however, did not begin until the government of the United States opened wide the gates to immigration in the month of June, 1833. ***'The march of the frontier of civilization from the Mississippi River westward and from the State of Missouri forms the Iowa chapter in the fascinating story of the expansion of the American people across the continent. ***By what means and agencies the vast domain acquired from the Red Men was eventually placed in the hands of settlers, who the original grantees of land patents were, and whence the pioneers came - these are some of the questions to which the future historian of Iowa must find answers.
