| Summary | "Prairie Gold" by Iowa Authors and Artists is a collection of literary works written in the early 20th century. This volume reflects the collaborative efforts of various authors and artists from Iowa, coming together during a time of social upheaval and conflict, particularly during World War I. The primary themes of the collection center around the life and culture of Iowa, showcasing its landscapes, people, and their experiences, with an emphasis on cooperation and humanitarian ideals. The opening of "Prairie Gold" introduces the reader to a preface that outlines its purpose as a collective work meant to support the men going to war and to comfort those affected by the conflict. The recognition of the contributions of the Iowa Press and Authors' Club establishes a tone of community and shared purpose. The book features various contributions, including poetry and prose, that celebrate the beauty and resilience of Iowa, drawing on local legends and natural imagery to evoke a sense of pride and unity among its readers. The text also hints at personal narratives and reflections woven into the broader tapestry of Iowa's identity, setting the stage for the diverse stories that follow.
