Book Description
Excerpt from Summer of 1889: Routes, Rates, Hotels, Game Laws and Other Valuable Information A drive, or, better still, a tramp through the far-famed lake region of Wisconsin reveals to the observant wanderer a perpetual change of delightful views. Hundreds of summer cottages, varying in style from the rude cabin of the camper-out to the Queen Anne mansion of the metropolitan millionaire, are encountered by the eye at every turn of the road. Some of these private summer homes are truly palatial in their appointments and sur roundings. Gorgeous masses of bedded flowers line the pebbly walks; the lawn is kept as smooth and soft as a velvet carpet by the continued application of steam rollers; there are stables and boat-houses elaborately finished in the finest of hard woods; the billiard room, bowling alley, shoot ing gallery and tennis court afford constant entertainment for the visiting guests ashore, while, if they care to venture on the lake, there is always at their disposal a steam yacht fit for a Cleopatra, with white enameled sides, softest of plush cushions, and brass trimmings so highly polished that it seems almost sacrilege to touch them.

Hoosiers and the American Story
Author: Madison, James H.
Publisher: Indiana Historical Society
ISBN: 0871953633
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 359
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.
