In 1900 Iowa Congressman Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver (left) introduced the first bill to protect antiquities on federal land, just a few months before he was appointed to a vacancy in the Senate. He and Iowa’s powerful senior Senator, William Boyd Allison (right), are shown preparing to go to the State Capitol in Des Moines where they were reelected to the Senate by the Iowa legislature.
