Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial History of Indiana A half century ago, there was a crying need for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup among the children of Indiana. To day, those of the children of '66, who have survived the taking ways of malaria, the White Caps and the automobile, are engaged in the mad rush for wealth and too busy to spend weeks and months poring over, and wading through, the long drawn-out detailed, dry facts of history as heretofore doled out to Indiana readers; hence this little volume. It is designed to take the place of Mother Winslow's concoction as the crying need of a busy public. This work is not intended to belittle the efforts of such historians as have gone before. They did the best they could. Many of them did not have the advantage of an acquaintance with the author of this work. The Centennial History is designed to be a plain, truthful, delineation of important events in Indiana. It is arranged so that the shop-keeper, in his leisure moments between sales of shirtwaists and prunes, and the farmer, during the noon hours and on rainy afternoons, may glean the history of their native state, free from the frills, embellishments and biased opinions of the larger chronicles. All such superfluous matters as Indian massacres, detailed political battles and biographies of big guns have been eliminated. Nobody's picture, or his own recollection of the great things he has accomplished, is published herein at so much per.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial History of Indiana: For Schools and for Teachers Institutes That the year 1916, the Centennial of Indiana's Statehood, should awaken the deepest popular interest and be marked with a pageantry unprecedented in any similar case is not surprising, in view of the history of the State and its people. Indiana was the eighteenth State to be organized and to enter the American Union. Of the four dozen States compos ing the great Republic, Indiana is only the thirty-eighth in area, being the smallest of all the Western States of the old classification; but in population, according to the Federal cen sus of 1910, it is surpassed by only seven States in all the Union. The people of Indiana are chiefly of the old Colonial stock, the European immigration never having been excessive; and the boundaries of the State are for the most part highly artificial, consisting of straight and imaginary lines. Yet in its history and development Indiana has manifested a character of its own, which is altogether remarkable among the common wealths; and while the people are intensely loyal to the Union as a whole, they cherish a deep love for their State, and take great pride in it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Under Three Flags," Indiana: Adapted From Cottman-Hyman Centennial History of Indiana God bless old indiana, child of the pioneers, in the solitude of swamp and wood they builded for future years; braving the dangers of track Iess wilds, patient to work and wait, till the clearings about their cabins merged into a mighty State. God bless old indiana, hers is no heritage of blood - bought glory of kingly lines come down from another age; but hers is the glory of empire won for the happiness of men, .oi cities builded, and harvests reaped, where once there were bog and fen. God bless old indiana, hers are no cities great, wh-ere crime and poverty cast the shadow of suffering turned to hate; but hers is a country of open skies, and of open heart and hand, where God's own sunshine unhindered falls on another Promised Land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial Memorial Volume: Indiana University, 1820-1920 For an immediate illustration, take Indiana in the middle of the last century. Our people had the civilized mother tongue. But in 1840 fourteen per cent of the adults could not read or write, and in 1850 twenty-two per cent Of them could not read or write. They had schools, academies, colleges, men and women of learning and cultivation. But in 1848 forty four per cent of our people voted against free public schools, and in this county, the seat of this University, seventy-nine and four tenths per cent of the people voted against free public schools. They had the law, the ancient law developed in southern and western Europe since before the Christian era, and some men learned in the law. But in 1852 our people wrote it into their constitution that a man might be a counsellor at the bar however ignorant, and they prescribed that in criminal cases a jury how ever ignorant should be the sole judges Of the law. They were not without the elements of art. They had music. They had the pioneer melodies that Riley loved to hear the Old Band play. We are not ashamed of the melody nor of the Band. But the great music was not there. The empire of Beethoven was as far from our people generally as the empire of Genghis Khan. The making of a home in America by Europeans since 1492 is the greatest event Of modern history. But everywhere at first it involved descent.

Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Biographical and Historical Sketches of Early Indiana Classic Reprint written by William Wesley Woollen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
