SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) If reading a book containing the U.S. Fish Commission report of 1882 sounds interesting, you and Bill Beacom might be the only two people around Sioux City who would think so.
While not a real page-turner to just about everyone else, it’s a book Beacom read through in his ongoing quest to gain every bit of knowledge about the Missouri River basin he can find.
It’s one of more than 300 books on topics that most of us probably would find mundane that Beacom has spent years collecting, reading and storing in the small library on the second floor of his Sioux City home.

Nearly 30 invasive carp pulled from Mississippi River in herding operation Minnesota and federal agencies herd the fish with nets and sound. April 9, 2021 7:17pm Text size Copy shortlink:
About 30 more invasive carp were pulled out of the Mississippi River this week, suggesting that the destructive fish may have established a foothold in Minnesota.
The silver and grass carp were caught in shallow backwaters of the river s Pool 8, near La Crosse, Wis., just above the southernmost lock and dam in Minnesota.
More than 50 of the carp were caught in the same pool last spring, and another 14 were caught earlier this year.
Despite the high numbers, however, it s still unknown if enough invasive carp are above the dam to successfully breed or establish permanent populations in the state, said Ben Larson, invasive carp field lead for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
