The Huebinger series of automotive publications were popular a century ago as adventurous motorists braved the primitive roads and uncertain terrain of Iowa and beyond. Today, these map collections and guides are actually history books which show us where we have been and how far we have come. Huebinger's Map and Guide for Des Moines For Resident and Stranger was originally published by the Iowa Publishing Company in Des Moines, Iowa in 1910. This reproduction has been enlarged from the original 4.5 inch by 7.5 inch booklet to 6 inches by 9 inches to make it easier to read. The cover and pages have been scanned at high resolution and individually color-corrected to remove imperfections. This Guide was scanned directly from the 1910 original, not from a later scanning. This Guide contains a history of Des Moines from the time it was a Fort at the confluence of the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers until 1910.
