DESCRIPTION

Named after the Ioway Native American tribe, Iowa is the only state whose east and west borders are completely formed by rivers. This landlocked Land of the Rolling Prairie is known more for its corn than anything else. Yet the Corn State has its own homegrown charm. The state’s official nickname has a rich literary history. Most think the Hawkeye State was named for a member of the state’s eponymous tribe. Yet it was actually gleaned from the 1826 novel “The Last of the Mohicans.” The name of the novel’s hero: this Iowa Heavy Blend Crewneck holds the answer.

What’s a Hawkeye? To the Iowan sports fan, this is an oft heard query when their state university’s athletic teams are competing. They have taken their state’s nickname as their own. My Desteenation doesn’t understand how this could be seen as a taunt and we celebrate the rich heritage of the Hawkeye state with this state Heavy Blend Crewneck! Considering the term comes from a popular literary novel during the time of Iowa’s founding, ‘The Last of the Mohicans,’ maybe they are just illiterate!
