I was doing some microfilm research and noticed the following item:

>From the Emmetsburg [Iowa] Democrat
Wed, December 7, 1904, p8:

"Books under Ban.
"Huckleberry Finn" and "Tom Sawyer" have been placed under the ban in the
juvenile department of the city library at Des Moines
because they are too strenuous and work a wrong influence on readers."
