Biographical History
Massachusetts native who traveled to Iowa during its territorial period and eventually took up residence in Burlington. During the 1840s he published two emigrant guides to the state (Sketches of Iowa, or the Emigrant's guide (1841) and A glimpse of Iowa in 1846). He also lectured in the United States and Britain encouraging settlement in the American Midwest. Newhall apparently intended to journey west to seek his fortune during the gold rush but he died of cholera in May of 1849 at Independence, Missouri, perhaps en route to the west coast.
