Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about Wapello came from various goverment sources (GNIS, US Census, FIPS), we also found mention of Wapello in various books, maps and other sources.

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Wapello. We hope that they will be useful to you.
