Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indiana National Road Association works to preserve, protect, and promote the Historic National Road. This byway is designated an All-American Road through the National Scenic Byways program and traverses six states from Baltimore, Maryland, to East St. Louis, Illinois. The road began as a primary route west for pioneers, and today the byway allows travelers to explore the American past--it is truly "the road that built the nation."

These images document the people and stories that are part of the National Road's heritage, and it is hoped this book will encourage advocacy for the protection of important heritage resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Road in Indiana To fully understand the reasons that led to the building by the National Government of the great highway that crosses Central Indiana from east to west, we must go back to the movements that led to the building of the /original Cumberland road to connect the Potomac river with the Ohio. A half century before the smouldering discontent of the English colonists along the Atlantic coast with their home government burst into the flame of revolution, it was seen that a conflict was inevitable between English and French for con trol of the country between the Ohio and the Great Lakes, and for military reasons alone the English realized that a way to the west should be established across the Allegheny mountains.

Book excerpt: You died and now a Voice asks you to recall the most important aspects of the life you just lived. What do you mention? Who do you include? Do you leave things out? What do you try to hide? What will be your story? John Casper died, and the Voice asked him to recall the most important aspects of the life he just lived. What did he include? What did he leave out or try to hide? As John recounts the important parts of his 78 years, his life seems ordinary at first. The Voice gently nudges him way from the safety of some of his memories. Away from the inconsequential, toward situations, people, and decisions that actually mattered. John would much rather forget some of these. The result is a story filled with hope, despair, romance, grief, and joy. Born in 1857, the son of German immigrants, John was an Indiana farmer who married a woman he loved deeply. Together, they created family traditions that strengthened their marriage and nurtured each of their children. They maintained close ties with their extended family, the German Reformed Church, and their neighbors on nearby farms. Among their 12 children were two sons, Irvy and Pete, who played especially powerful roles in John's life. Irvy wasn't at all like other boys. He was nurturing and kind, thoughtful and loving. John fretted that Irvy was probably "different" and wondered how to protect this son from the cruelty of the outside world. Pete created chaos and pain for everyone around him. John and his wife struggled to channel Pete toward a happier, less violent path. This is John Casper's remarkable story.

Book excerpt: The bicentennial of Indiana’s statehood in 2016 is the perfect time for Hoosiers of all stripes to hit the road and visit sites that speak to the nineteenth state’s character. In her book, Andrea Neal has selected the top 100 events/historical figures in Indiana history, some well-known like George Rogers Clark, and others obscured by time or memory such as the visit of Marquis de Lafayette to southern Indiana. These highly readable essays and photographs that accompany them feature a tourist site or landmark that in some way brings the subject to life. This will enable interested Hoosiers to travel the entire state to experience history at firsthand. Related activities and sites include nature hikes, museums, markers, monuments, and memorials. The sites appear in chronological order, beginning with the impact of the Ice Age on Indiana and ending with the legacy of the bicentennial itself.
