Book excerpt: Located at the falls of the Ohio River, Clarksville's history extends back to the Revolutionary War. Named in honor of General George Rogers Clark, the town was founded in 1783. Captured here in over 200 vintage images are the trials and triumphs of America's first town established in the Old Northwest Territory. Despite its historical importance, many people are unaware of Clarksville's unique place in America's development of the Midwest. As well as being the recruitment location for Captains Lewis and Clark's nucleus of the Corps of Discovery, the little town was also the site of one of Indiana's earliest state prisons. Over the centuries, its identity wavered from prison town, Civil War camp, and the center of nightlife and gambling for the entire Louisville metropolitan area. With the housing boom of World War II, Clarksville's population soared.

Book excerpt: The Indiana, Alabama & Texas Railroad emerged from a proposal to build a line between Mobile, Alabama, and Evansville, Indiana. Despite its grand plans, the railroad completed only about 30 miles of narrow gauge track from Clarksville, Tennessee, toward Princeton, Kentucky. The Louisville & Nashville Railroad purchased the railroad in 1886 and converted the line to standard gauge. The Louisville & Nashville abandoned the route, later known as the Clarksville & Princeton Branch, in May 1933, relegating it to the history books.

By the time of the Revolutionary War, Britain had taken possession as a prize won during the French and Indian War. George Rogers Clark George Rogers Clark's 1778 - 79 campaign had wrested this vast territory from Britain during the Revolutionary War. Clark and his men's heroics ensured that the region would be ceded to the United States at the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended the war. George Rogers Clark would spend most of his last days at the town named after him in southern Indiana.
