Produktbeschreibung
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 importance, the activities of the leading political parties not excepted. Then there are reasons why the present seems a peculiarly fitting time to bring out such a work. With the approach of the centennial year of statehood, and the rounding out of a cycle of Indiana history, there comes to the thoughtful mind not only a renewed interest in the fascinating story of the origin, antecedents and growth of our splendid commonwealth, but a striking realization of the fact that a new era, not only of material progress, but of social and civic development, involving many changes from former ideals, has dawned. The formative period in the state´s history is closed, and the new problems of government, and of dealing with the varied interests and needs of the people, are widely different from those of the earlier times.
