Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Greek Revival gem of a courthouse from 1850...And who knew there was a cave under Paoli Indiana? There's a lot that's interesting about Orange County... Visitors travel to Orange County to see one of the most impressive historic courthouses in the Midwest. Underneath that very landmaker, and the rest of Paoli, is what is reputed to be the most beautiful limestone cave in Indiana. The courthouse and cave are only two of the Orange County wonders author Arthur Dillard unveils for the reader in this fascinating book. Dillard has painstakingly researched mastodon bones, the old stagecoach routes through southern Indiana, little known history of the French Lick resort region, old-time department stores and persimmon pudding, along with other interesting subjects. He's included local characters who evaded the law and sometimes brought national focus on Orange County and leading citizens with colorful lives. Dillard brings to life aspects of life in the small towns of Orange County villages and resort centers which are both typical of, and different from, those in other Hoosier hometowns. He tells his stories with flair, gentlemanly charm, and accurate historical perspective.

Download or read book African American Pioneers of Orange County Indiana written by Donna Pulliam Griffin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free African American men, women and children traveled from North Carolina to Orange County, Indiana in search of new opportunities in a less hostile environment in the mid to late 1820s. Against the backdrop of slavery, war, racial tension and unfriendly laws, these early pioneers purchased land in this untamed wilderness. Using the primitive tools available, they cleared the forest, constructed their homes and built a place of worship. They tilled the land as farmers, raising crops to sustain their families, and laid the foundation of what became known as the Lick Creek settlement. You won't find them mentioned in history books, as their lives were too insignificant to historians of the time. However, their names are scattered throughout old musty ledgers, registers, deeds, certificates and probate records in Orange County file cabinets, vaults, drawers and boxes. They were ordinary people living in extraordinary times. These hard working individuals paved the way for future generations who would inherit their strong moral character, good Christian values, a willingness to work hard and true love of family. This work puts flesh on the bones that rest in the old family cemetery and breathes life into their stories. This is an untold part of Orange County, Indiana history.

Download or read book Pioneer Ranch Life in Orange written by Mary Teegarden Clark and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This previously unpublished account of early California ranch life from 1875 to 1887 covers a pivotal era in Orange County history. Vassar-educated Mary Teegarden Clark captured the future Orange County during its transition from the untamed cattle rancho era to citrus empire. Mary writes engagingly about breaking ground for the citrus Yale Grove in the city of Orange, her home life with husband Albert B. Clark and workaday ranch chores with Chinese and Latino farmhands. Her firsthand accounts enlarge the historical record of citrus marketing, wilderness excursions and the escapades of Wild West pistoleros. Through deft editing, Paul F. Clark, Mary's great-grandson, provides the historical framework through which to view Mary's remarkably vivid experiences.
