Des Moines is the capital and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Iowa. It is also the county seat of Polk County. A small portion of the city extends into Warren County. It was incorporated on September 22, 1851, as Fort Des Moines which was shortened to "Des Moines" in 1857.

Des Moines in "News From the Front"[]

At a press conference in his hometown of Des Moines in May 1942, Vice President Henry Wallace for the first time publicly criticized his erstwhile benefactor President Franklin D. Roosevelt, for Roosevelt's handling of World War II.[1]

Des Moines in Southern Victory[]

The Drivers relocated to Des Moines in the 1920s after they became citizens of the United States upon the end of the Great War. They had a happy life there, but Cincinnatus Driver had to abandon it, temporarily as it turned out, due to the Richmond Agreement Plebiscite and the consequential Second Great War.
