Less than 50 years after the Civil War, and just about 50 years before the Civil Rights Act, the small coal-mining town of Buxton, Iowa, became a model community where racial integration and equal pay for equal work were the accepted policy. Buxton Roots is the most complete set of Buxton records in existence, illustrated with dozens of photos the town.
