Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of Indiana This book is intended to be, in the fullest degree, what its title indicates - a "Popular History of Indiana" - not only in the sense of being a work for popular reading, but also in the sense of being a history of the people of Indiana, rather than a mere record of military and political events. That a real necessity exists for such a work will, I think, be conceded by all. This book is not claimed to be the result of original research, or an effort of profound scholarship. But the aim has been to present an accurate and impartial account of the origin and development of the great commonwealth which occupies so proud a position before the world. Several pens have co-operated in the preparation of this book, which has been a labor of love, and I take pleasure in being the medium through which it is offered to the public.
