Excerpt from Boss Bart, Politician: A Western Story of Love and Politics
It was simply Poplarville, Iowa, according to the United States postoffice directory. One of those rare communities which can scarcely be called a village, and yet pretended to be something more than a mere cross roads. It was a center around which a large number of eastern people and a colony from Indiana had settled in an early day. Quiet, undisturbed by the surging and speculative fever of the quarter century succeeding the civil war, it was just such a spot as to nurture self-reliant childhood and give a tinge of romantic atmosphere to the prosaic career of an Iowa farmer"s life. In fact, it represented a distinct type of western farm life.
Two roads started out in a triangle from an old oak tree.
