About the author

George Byron Merrick

Best known for preserving family and regional history in print, this Iowa writer left behind a detailed record of the Merrick family and the people and places around Dubuque. His work still appeals to readers interested in genealogy, local history, and the texture of everyday life in the Midwest.
