The Welsh in Iowa is the history of the little known Welsh immigrant communities in the American Midwestern state of Iowa. Dr. Walley’s book identifies what made the Welsh unique as immigrants to North America, and as migrants and settlers in a land built on such groups. With research rooted in documentary evidence and supplemented with community and oral histories, The Welsh in Iowa preserves and examines Welsh culture as it was expressed in middle America by the farmers and coal miners who settled or passed through the prairie state as it grew to maturity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This work seeks to not only document the Welsh immigrants who lived in Iowa, but to study the Welsh as a distinct ethnic group in a state known for its ethnic heritage.

The Welsh in Iowa is, as the title indicates, a history of the Welsh in Iowa. This dissertation seeks to not only document the Welsh immigrants who lived in Iowa during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but to study the Welsh as a distinct ethnic group in a state known for its ethnic heritage. As told in this study, the story of the Welsh in Iowa begins in Wales, where the Welsh ethnic identity developed in response to English domination. The story continues with an account of factors in emigration from Wales and the three main waves of Welsh immigration to America. A short history of the Welsh in America follows the section on immigration. Then a brief history of the state of Iowa is given, including a survey of the state's major ethnic groups. The actual history of the Welsh in Iowa is divided into two sections, first the agricultural communities and then the coal mining communities. An additional chapter containing demographic analyses is also included. The conclusion is followed by two appendices giving brief accounts of each Welsh community in Iowa.

In 1890, more than 100,000 Welsh-born immigrants resided in the United States. A majority of them were skilled laborers from the coal mines of Wales who had been recruited by American mining companies. Readily accepted by American society, Welsh immigrants experienced a unique process of acculturation. In the first history of this exceptional community, Ronald Lewis explores how Welsh immigrants made a significant contribution to the development of the American coal industry and how their rapid and successful assimilation affected Welsh American culture. Lewis describes how Welsh immigrants brought their national churches, fraternal orders and societies, love of literature and music, and, most important, their own language. Yet unlike eastern and southern Europeans and the Irish, the Welsh--even with their "foreign" ways--encountered no apparent hostility from the Americans. Often within a single generation, Welsh cultural institutions would begin to fade and a new "Welsh American" identity developed. True to the perspective of the Welsh themselves, Lewis's analysis adopts a transnational view of immigration, examining the maintenance of Welsh coal-mining culture in the United States and in Wales. By focusing on Welsh coal miners, Welsh Americans illuminates how Americanization occurred among a distinct group of skilled immigrants and demonstrates the diversity of the labor migrations to a rapidly industrializing America.
