Documented colonial history through illustrations

Artist-historian J. Howard Iams grew up in the North Ten Mile region of Washington County, near the border with Greene County. In the 1930s, with his brother Lash, he traveled throughout the region, researching and illustrating remnants of the area’s colonial past. He worked five years on his most ambitious project, 40 illustrations that document the sites, events and people of the Whiskey Rebellion.
