Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Story of Indiana Classic Reprint written by Harry M. Clem and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentleman From Indiana On the station 'platforms therefire always two or three wooden packing-boxes, apparently marked for travel, but they are sacred from disturbance and remain on the platform forever; possibly the right train never comes along. They serve to enthrone a few station loafers, who look out from under their hat-brims at the faces in the car-windows with the languid scorn a permanent fixture always has for a transient, and the pity an American feels for a fellow-being who does not live in his town. Now and then the train passes a town built scatteringly about a court-house, with a mill or two humming near the tracks. This is a county-seat, and the inhabitants and the local papers refer to it confi dently as our city. The heart of the flat lands is a central area called Carlow County, and the county seat of Carlow is a town unhappily named in honor of its first settler, williamvplatt, who christened it with his blood. Natives of this place have sometimes re marked, easily, that'their city had a population of from five to six thousand souls. It is easy to forgive them for such statements; civic pride is a virtue.

Download or read book Sketches of Things and Peoples in Indiana Classic Reprint written by Aaron Wood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Things and Peoples in Indiana It affords me great pleasure to contribute a few words by way of introduction to Dr, Wood's Sketches of. Things and Peoples. This kind of book, the subject matter of which is woven largely out of the personal experiences of the writer, is, in the nature of the case, full of interest. It lives. Dr. Wood says truthfully on his title page, that of these things he has been a part. It was only modesty that required the omission of magna from the Virgilian quotation. Dr. Aaron Wood is one of the pioneers of Indiana. He has personally witnessed the entire transformation by which this great Commonwealth, with its telephone, its electric light, and its sixty millions of wheat, has been in three score years evolved from a dark wilderness, whose Grendel was fever and ague. He has virtually seen our whole history enacted year by year, and has had a personal interest or actual part in every important event since our admission into the Union. To this extraordinary breadth of observation among the growing populations and institutions of our State, must be added the Doctors natural genius for seeing things, without which travel is folly, years barren, and eyes useless. He who sees and sees and sees nothing, would better never write. When in the autumn of 1635 a colony of Massachusetts people made their toilsome way westward to lay the foundations of the future in the valley of the Connecticut, it is said that the voice of the resolute Hooker made the woods of every camping station ring with his psalmody and preaching. Aaron Wood has been the Hooker of the Indiana forests - the voice of one crying in the wilderness. To be sure, this brief monograph is a genuine product. It has the impress of its authorship on every page. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
