Iowa” chronicles how this 13-year time frame affected Iowa.
Iowa had just about everything happen here that hap-
pened nationwide.
McCann explains, “Yes, there were murders. Also gun
battles on the two lane highways. And Al Capone was in
Iowa, and people feared him. Yet, the average farmer was
making moonshine in order to support his family.”
Linda McCann is a native Iowan and proud of it. Her
family has lived in Iowa since 1855. She is also a founding
member of the Shell Rock Historical Society, and that is what
got her started writing. She had questions about Shell Rock,
researched them, turned
them into a book which
the Society sold, and
she was off and running.
Prohibition is the eighth
book published by Iowan
Books. She mostly works
on the Vanished Towns
of the Cedar Valley se-
ries, which details named
locations within a county
that won’t be found on
most maps today. When
she discovers something
of interest, she researches
and writes about it. That
is how Prohibition came
about.
