About the Book

Waterloo started out like many other towns: as a small pioneer village located along the banks of the Cedar River. It must have been a breathtaking sight--a beautiful river lined with red cedar trees, prairie grasses blowing in the breeze, and abundant wildlife. After winning the battle to become the county seat in 1855, Waterloo began to grow into the metropolis it is today. The popular slogan, "Waterloo Way Wins," has proven true over the years, and one can feel a sense of pride while looking at the images in this book.

About the Author :
Written by Waterloo historian and native Brandon J. Brockway, this book shares a selection from his own personal collection. He is the former director of education and collections at the Cedar Falls Historical Society, former president of the Northeast Iowa Genealogical Society, and past member of the Waterloo Historic Preservation Commission. Brandon and his wife, Lisa, own and operate an antiques store in the heart of historic downtown Waterloo.
