Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Standard History of Kosciusko County, Indiana, Vol. 1: An Authentic Narrative of the Past, With Particular Attention to the Modern Era in the Commercial, Industrial, Educational, Civic and Social Development Kosciusko is one of the live counties of Northern Indiana, the progress and present prosperity of which are founded upon a variety of physical qualities and a rare diversity of mental traits. The head waters of Tippecanoe River spread over portions of its territory, and bring it within the beautiful and fertile domain of the Wabash Valley. Building stone and cement, grains, fruits and vegetables, sleek dairy herds, the ungainly but invaluable swine, and the noble steed, now being relegated to minor consideration, have all their parts in the progress, prosperity and historic position of Kosciusko County. Progressive farmers and merchants, alert and educated lawyers and judges, high-minded men and women giving their best to educational and religious advancement, have also made this special section of the Hoosier State a credit to the human type for which it stands. Intellectual and religious natures from every section of the United States find solace and inspiration in the world-famed Chautauqua Assembly at Winona Lake, and thousands who are tired mentally and physically seek the beautiful lakes and well appointed summer resorts of Kosciusko County as surcease from their unrest and exhaustion. And never do they seek in vain. Nature seems here in her best and most invigorating mood. Thus have large manufactures, finished farms, handsome summer homes, charming villages on the shores of sunny lakes, growing towns and cities, and a great advancing section of Indiana come into being within the memory of men and women now living. They, and their children and grandchildren, have proven their loyalty to the country of which they are proud to be a part, by dying for it in three wars: and it is with pleasure that the editors of this history are able to say that Kosciusko´s participation in the most glorious, unselfish conflict of them all, has been fittingly set forth in its pages. Of necessity the work is imperfect, but all identified with it have spared nothing to make the record as complete and authentic as possible. To all our assistants hearty thanks are extended.
