Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of Indiana Each story stands by itself, and may be read without refer ence to any of the others. In choosing them, one by one, consideration was given to their availability as presenting the characteristics of the people, the time, and the locality, so as to make the book unfold scene after scene running apace with the progress of our State's civilization. Of course the student learned in history will not find much that is new to him as he reads; yet some of the chapters are made wholly out of matter never before in print, while others contain incidents drawn from the author's private stores of research.

Excerpt from The Story of Indiana and Its People The first session of the Fourteenth Congress passed the following Act relating to the boundaries of the state: "The said state shall consist of all the territory included within the following boundaries, to-wit: Bounded on the east by the meridian line which forms the western boundary of the State of Ohio; on the south by the river Ohio from the mouth of the Great Miami River to the mouth of the river Wabash; on the west by a line drawn along the middle of the Wabash from its mouth to a point where a due north line drawn from the town of Vincennes would last touch the northwestern shore of the said river; and from thence by a due north line, until the same shall intersect an east and west line drawn through a point 10 miles north of the southern extreme of Lake Michigan; on the north by the said east and west line until the same shall intersect the first-mentioned meridian line which forms the western boundary of the State of Ohio." By a previous act the western boundary of Ohio had been fixed at the meridian line drawn through the mouth of the Great Miami River.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Indiana From thy gates came men of fame, Proud the nation is to claim. Glorious Indiana! Great in story and in song, Placing right against the wrong, Noble sons and daughters pure Make thy future promise sure, O Indiana, O Indiana! We sing to thee alone. - From the song, "Indiana" by C. W. Harlan, Warsaw, Ind. By permission. The story of Indiana has its beginning millions of years before man came upon the earth and left a record of his deeds upon monuments, stone tablets and parchments. Yet we have not a man-written record of what happened in those almost inconceivably distant times while the earth was in the making. Nature is the author who wrote down what happened as the years were counted off in tens of millions, not in scores, as is done by man. The pages of her book are the great beds of rock that extend in wide layers beneath the surface of our state, the oldest pages underneath, the latest above. The letters and words of her book are the fossils of plants and animals that lived at different periods in the past and were buried in the muds of the sea floor which in time hardened into rock. Men of science, after long study, have learned to read the pages of Nature's book and have told us the story of what Indiana was long, long before man appeared to write down his own history.

Excerpt from Once Upon a Time in Indiana We who are older than you and who have received directly from the past a knowledge of the brave old days of Indiana, and know how easily the records of simple heroism and enduring courage may be lost have undertaken to preserve for you a few pictures of the lives of your and our ancestors in this state over a hundred years ago. We hope that you may sometime, if not now, realize that noble courage and devotion to duty may be shown in other ways besides in deeds of war and adventure, and that you may come to appreciate the high purpose of the brave men and women who have made of the wilderness the sunlit garden of opportunity and happiness which we enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Century of Indiana The production of this work is the result of a belief that there is a field for a new history of Indiana, briefer in general narrative, though fuller in political and constitutional history, than other standard works heretofore published. The word political is of course used in its governmental and not its partisan sense, though every phase of the state's history is treated according to its relative impor tance, the activities of the leading political parties not excepted.

Excerpt from History of Indiana It requires little more than an amateur's imagination to picture in the mind's eye the stalwart and hairy historians of the Stone Age jotting down their literature upon the Bedford stones, or hewing the trees that were in time to carbonize into our great coal fields.

Book Description
Excerpt from Biographical and Historical Sketches of Early Indiana Many of the sketches contained in this book were originally published in the Indianapolis Journal. These, and such as have been given the public in other papers, have been carefully revised and rewritten. Some of the sketches, how ever, were prepared expressly for this work. I have not written of living men, but only of those who have passed away. The dead Governors of Indiana - both Territorial and State - are sketched, and monographs of other distinguished men are given. The book contains other papers, of a historical character, the whole making a work which, I hope, will prove of permanent value. The information contained in this book, which necessarily develops much of the early political history of the State, was obtained from various sources, and can not elsewhere be found without great research and labor. N o inconsiderable part of it is derived from the author's own observation and recollection, and would pass away with him were it not committed to writing. Should this book be favorably received' by the public, it will, most probably, be followed by another of similar character, for the author is in possession of abundant material for such a work.
