Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Illustrated History of the State of Indiana: Being a Full and Authentic Civil and Political History of the State From Its First Exploration Down to 1879; Including an Account of the Commercial, Agricultural, and Educational Growth of Indiana; With Historical and Descriptive Sketches of the Cities, T No money consideration has prompted a single action in this regard. The steady aim has been to produce a work that will stand the severest criticism of the press and public; and while, as a contribution to American literature, it may not reach the highest standard, yet, as a plain, interesting, straightforward, impartial, reliable, and complete History, it cannot fail to meet with a popular reception in every quarter of the State, and also wherever it may find its way abroad. The reader´s attention is directed to the fact that this work has not been compiled merely from the files in the State Library. These sources of information have been thoroughly overhauled, and made to contribute many valuable features, but this has constituted the smallest part of the labor connected with the work. The compilers have visited every city, town, and village in the State, and by interviewing all of the oldest settlers now living, and availing themselves of every scrap of local history preserved by the "Old Settlers´ Societies," or otherwise, they have been enabled to produce a complete history of the settlement and progress of every locality. In short, this volume presents every page in the history of Indiana, from its earliest exploration by the French, down to the present day, including an interesting history and description of all the cities, towns and villages, their location, wealth, progress, advantages, and probable future, including, also, complete and accurate descriptions of the soil, productions, agriculture, commerce, manufactures, laws, educational facilities, and mineral resources. The work has been condensed as much as its importance would permit, and depending upon a liberal support from all citizens of the State, we have placed the price so low that every reader within the State may easily procure a copy. It is sold only by subscription. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
