Hoosier Hysterical
"The problem with history isn't that it's not interesting; it's that it's not 'made' interesting. . . . So Mark R. Hunter begins his attempt to make history funny, even if it makes history teachers roll over in their graves (hopefully not while they're still alive). With his wife Emily, Hunter goes on an off-the-wall, Indy 500-style race through the past, from Paleo-Indians through the Northwest Territory, the formation of the state, wars, and the ongoing struggle of people against their environment and each other."--Back cover.
Albion and Noble County
Named after Indiana's first US senator, Noble County was formed in 1836, just eight years after the first recorded white settlers arrived and 20 years after Indiana's formation. Settlements grew with transportation: a trail from Fort Wayne became the now-historic Lincoln Highway; the Sylvan Lake dam, built to supply a proposed canal, attracted author Gene Stratton Porter; and railroads arrived. Each time the population grew and shifted until the citizens voted to place the county seat in "The Center," the geographic center of Noble County. Soon, Albion occupied the space, making it the smallest township in America. With 117 lakes, the Elkhart River, a state park, and numerous historic sites, Noble County became a destination for tourists, while Albion's historical downtown area, centered on a century-old courthouse in a town carved from wilderness, stands in the center of it all.
Smoky Days and Sleepless Nights
"'Smoky Days' follows the Albion Volunteer Fire Dapartment from before its founding in 1888 until present times, using information compiled from old run logs, local newspapers, fire department and public photos, and oral histories. Mark R. Hunter uses humor and insights from years of firefighting experience to bring history to life."--P. [4] of cover.
The Notorious Ian Grant
When infamous party boy and b-list celebrity Ian Grant learns his sister is marrying a cop, he abandons Hollywood and drives to Indiana. His plan: to make up for all those times he embarrassed his family by taking charge of the wedding planning. So, Ian's never planned a wedding ... how hard could it be? The tornado ravaged town of Hurricane is like another world—a world he'd like to be part of, if only people would stop judging him by his previous antics. He might even have a chance at romance with his future brother-in-law's coworker, detective Fran Vargas. But for Fran everything's gone wrong since the moment Ian arrived, including their confrontation with a bullying politician, and an influx of nosy reporters and angry ex-girlfriends. Not to mention Ian's wedding planning keeps getting interrupted by someone trying to kill him. No one ever said redemption is easy.
