On this episode of Talk of Iowa, historian and Iowa State University faculty Jeff Bremer joins host Charity Nebbe to discuss his new book A New History of Iowa. Bremer's book is a comprehensive history that incorporates the foundational stories that are well-known, but paints a richer, more diverse and more complicated picture than we’ve seen in the past.
