Book Description
Excerpt from Geology and Mineral Resources of the Hennepin and La Salle Quadrangles The area included in the Hennepin and La Salle quadrangles represents one of the wealthiest agricultural, manufacturing, and mining communities within the middle west. Valuable farm lands, world famous manufacturing industries, and extensive coal mining operations combine to make the area one which can hardly be equalled in commercial importance in the State out side Oi the large cities of Chicago and East St. Louis. In no small degree have geological factors contributed to the importance of the region, for the manufacturing, as well as the agricultural and mining wealth is drawn largely from the natural resources of the region. That such a region possesses geo logic interest is to be expected, and this interest is greatly enhanced by the presence in the area of unusual structural conditions, and by exposures of rocks and buried glacial deposits that are more numerous and better uncovered than is commonly the case in the Prairie Province.

Book Description
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
