How many well-known Davenporters can you name?<\/p>\n

Most native Quad-Citizens can name a few local celebrities off the tops of their heads—Annie Wittenmyer<\/a>? Rascal the River Bandit<\/a>?–and many of us can recognize the names of historical Davenporters of note—Phebe Sudlow<\/a>? Antoine LeClaire<\/a>?—when we see them on buildings, streets, and towns.<\/p>\n

But can you name these important people by their photographs<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Need some help?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are a few clues:<\/p>\n

a. The son of the man who established the first school of chiropractic, this gentleman later brought the school into the International spotlight.<\/p>\n

b. This woman was one of the highest-paid authors in America at a time when Mark Twain, a friend of hers, was still paying to have his stories published.<\/p>\n

c.\u00a0 U. S. Highway No. 6 in Davenport (and Bettendorf) was named after this Iowa State Senator in 1936.<\/p>\n

d. The first—and so far, only—woman mayor of Davenport, Iowa.<\/p>\n

e. Called Makataimeshekiakiak in his own language, this leader was born in Saukenuk, the main village of the Sac people on the Illinois Rock River, in 1767.<\/p>\n

f. This reporter, playwright, and novelist went on—and east—to found the Provincetown Players with her husband (also a writer from Davenport), though she never forgot her Midwestern roots.<\/p>\n

g. This young man could play the piano by ear at six years old. He went on to play another instrument, but never did learn to read music.<\/p>\n
