A History of Indiana by Logan Esarey. This book is a reproduction of the original book published in 1915 and may have some imperfections such as marks or hand-written notes.
The Indiana Home is a fascinating, highly readable account of life in rural Indiana in the mid-1800s. From the book's Foreword: In memory of Dr. Logan Esarey, late Professor of History at Indiana University, who devoted most of his life to the study, teaching and writing of Indiana history, these essays on Indiana life are published. In rough draft they were found among his very miscellaneous notes and papers. They were never intended for publication but merely as outlines from which he read to college and historical groups. Although prepared primarily for young folks-his students and grandchildren-they were enjoyed quite as much by those whose years provided memories of earlier days in Indiana. In the editing no important changes have been made in the informal language of the author-the homely language of the pioneer. Publication of this little volume was made possible through the interest of Mrs. Logan Esarey, the Indiana Historical Society, members of the Indiana Historical Society, col leagues, friends and former students. The dedication is as Dr. Esarey would have wished it.

How a group of nonprofessional historians forced a reassessment of Abraham Lincolns life story
In 1865, Indiana State University began classes as many other future regional state universities would: as a "normal school," a school that specialized in training teachers, usually in one- or two-year programs. By 1933, Indiana State had won the name Teachers College and had begun offering graduate-level education. In A History of Indiana State University, Dan Clark explores the history of Indiana State's institutional transformation against the backdrop of the amazing expansion of public education and the scope of higher education in the United States during this period. Starting with the origins of the normal school and the need for professional teachers to help construct the educational ...
