beloved Iowa Fremont county 161 years ago and it still lasted in
print. Dawsonburg was part of what became Tabor. FRONTIER
GUARDIAN and IOWA SENTINEL Dawsonburg, Fremont County, Iowa May
20, 1852 Original Poetry. For the Guardian and Sentinel COME TO
THIS LAND OF OURS "Come rich and poor to this Western part,
..Come to this fruitful land; Enjoy this comfort in the heart,
..That God has given to man. "Our country calls on all to come,
..Both high and low renonwn; All that wish can have a home, ..On
this productive ground. "We have honey here and lasses, ..And
every thing that's sweet; The fish abound in masses, ..And every
kind of meat. "Carpenters: Come to the County Seat, ..And come
it with a tilt; For wages here are hard to beat, ..And all want
houses built. "Blacksmiths here would be well paid, ..For they
are very scarce; In cattle, hogs, and best of trade; ..And often
out the purse. "Come all to Fremont County, ..For that's the
goodly land;
