Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial History of Indiana A half century ago, there was a crying need for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup among the children of Indiana. To day, those of the children of '66, who have survived the taking ways of malaria, the White Caps and the automobile, are engaged in the mad rush for wealth and too busy to spend weeks and months poring over, and wading through, the long drawn-out detailed, dry facts of history as heretofore doled out to Indiana readers; hence this little volume. It is designed to take the place of Mother Winslow's concoction as the crying need of a busy public. This work is not intended to belittle the efforts of such historians as have gone before. They did the best they could. Many of them did not have the advantage of an acquaintance with the author of this work. The Centennial History is designed to be a plain, truthful, delineation of important events in Indiana. It is arranged so that the shop-keeper, in his leisure moments between sales of shirtwaists and prunes, and the farmer, during the noon hours and on rainy afternoons, may glean the history of their native state, free from the frills, embellishments and biased opinions of the larger chronicles. All such superfluous matters as Indian massacres, detailed political battles and biographies of big guns have been eliminated. Nobody's picture, or his own recollection of the great things he has accomplished, is published herein at so much per.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial History of Indiana: For Schools and for Teachers Institutes That the year 1916, the Centennial of Indiana's Statehood, should awaken the deepest popular interest and be marked with a pageantry unprecedented in any similar case is not surprising, in view of the history of the State and its people. Indiana was the eighteenth State to be organized and to enter the American Union. Of the four dozen States compos ing the great Republic, Indiana is only the thirty-eighth in area, being the smallest of all the Western States of the old classification; but in population, according to the Federal cen sus of 1910, it is surpassed by only seven States in all the Union. The people of Indiana are chiefly of the old Colonial stock, the European immigration never having been excessive; and the boundaries of the State are for the most part highly artificial, consisting of straight and imaginary lines. Yet in its history and development Indiana has manifested a character of its own, which is altogether remarkable among the common wealths; and while the people are intensely loyal to the Union as a whole, they cherish a deep love for their State, and take great pride in it.

Book excerpt: 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 impor tance, the activities of the leading political parties not excepted.
