USA - IOWA ( State of Iowa)

Iowa is a U.S. state in the Midwestern United States, a region sometimes called the "American Heartland". Iowa is bordered by the Mississippi River on the east and the Missouri River and the Big Sioux River on the west; it is the only U.S. state whose eastern and western borders are formed entirely by rivers. Iowa is bordered by Wisconsin and Illinois to the east, Missouri to the south, Nebraska and South Dakota to the west, and Minnesota to the north. In colonial times, Iowa was a part of French Louisiana and Spanish Louisiana; its current state flag is patterned after the flag of France. After the Louisiana Purchase, settlers laid the foundation for an agriculture-based economy in the heart of the Corn Belt.

My 5th US State wise cover reached from Iowa state. My good friend Anna sent to me this, unfortunately the left side stamps not postmarked. She traveled a long distance to get hand cancellation from the post office, but the staff was very adamant. so she could not do it perfectly. Still I like very much because of my friend's dedication to do the work as perfectly even she was very ill that time. Thanks a lot Anna for the big help .
