Hawkeye Glory, The History of the Karl L. King Municipal Band of Fort Dodge, Iowa, by Thomas Hatton....$17.00

"Hawkeye Glory: The History of the Karl L. King Municipal Band of Fort Dodge, Iowa, is an easy read and full of great detail on the origins and history of a great Iowa institution. Author Thomas Hatton carries his readers from the early days of the Pumpkinville Tooters through the era of Carl Quist, who was the heart and soul of the band for 20 years, and for the half-century of devotion that began on Sept.17, 1920, when Karl King picked up the baton. I cannot recommend this book enough."
