	For the Iowa Centennial Year of 1946, the Carr, Adams & Collier Company, recognized the deep history of Dubuque and they prepared and published an illustrated story of Dubuque's history in their monthly employee publication, the Bilt-Well Bulletin. The booklet was written by Robert Burlingame and illustrated by Cy Ferring. The booklet itself is 8 1/2" wide x 11 " high. My grandfather, Lester G. Wendt, would have been working for this company at that time. I'm not sure what his role was in 1946. Robert Burlingame, the author, was Lester's nephew and Lester was best man in Cy Ferring's marriage to his 2nd wife, Marion. (10) In 1948 the material was republished in booklet form to be distributed in the schools and institutions of Dubuque according to company officials. Included in the material were nine, full-page charcoal sketches of early life in Dubuque by Ferring.

-In the 1970s controversy arose among some students about the manner in which [[AFRICAN AMERICANS]] were shown in the murals.  Historical research, however, would show that river commerce gave African Americans as well as others opportunities to find work in the 1800s.  Ferring was simply showing life along the [[MISSISSIPPI RIVER]] as it existed both before and after the [[CIVIL WAR]].
 The murals were restored by Gary Germaine who had been commissioned by the family of Dr. Darryl and Terry Mozena.
