According to Ralph Gary's Following in Lincoln's Footsteps Lincoln was also in Burlington, Iowa, on October 9, 1858. Lincoln was there to give a speech at Grimes Hall, and he stayed overnight at the Hudson House. Gary writes that there is also a claim that Lincoln was once in Davenport in 1858. The author implies that claim is unproven. Those three cities are the only ones listed for Iowa.
