- Joseph Eiboeck (February 23, 1838 – January 8, 1913) was an American newspaper editor, publisher, and author, who emigrated from Austria to the United States. Known as "Colonel Eiboeck", he was one of the most prominent newspaper editors in late 19th- and early 20th-century Iowa, writing in both German and English, and an influential opponent of Prohibition. For nearly 40 years, he edited the Iowa Staats-Anzeiger, a Des Moines newspaper focusing on state politics and advocating "personal liberty", the motto of anti-Prohibitionists. Although Eiboeck himself did not drink alcohol, he believed in individual choice over regulation, and campaigned fervently against anti-saloon legislation, representing "the extreme views of the liquor interests in Iowa politics" according to The New York Times. Prior to taking the helm at Staats-Anzeiger, he was editor and publisher of the Clayton County Journal for 13 years, and founder of the Elkader Nord Iowa Herold. In 1900, Eiboeck published The Germans of Iowa and Their Achievements, the first book focusing on the history of German, Swiss, and Austrian settlers across the state. English translations of chapters from his book are now available through the University of Iowa and the State Historical Society of Iowa. (en)
