Indiana Home - Paperback
by Logan Easrey (Author), Logan Esarey (Author), Bruce Rogers (Illustrator)
" . . . the best account of how life was lived on the frontier of the Old Northwest that I have ever read . . . it will deepen your understanding of the American inheritance." --Harper's
These sketches tell of early settlement by a variety of movers seeking homes in a Beulah land, of the raising of rough cabins in primitive clearings, of farm life in the 1850s, and of the growth of politics and government. Logan Esarey, born in Perry County, Indiana, in 1873, was a pioneer in the development of regional history.
In this book Esarey makes the Indiana of the past as real as the Indiana of today. These sketches, which stand equally well for the whole Midwest, tell of early settlement by a variety of movers seeking homes in a Beulah land, of the raising of rough cabins in primitive clearings, of the trees and the flowers and the wild herbs that covered the ground, of farm life in the 1850s, and finally of the growth of politics and government.
LOGAN ESAREY, born in Perry County, Indiana, in 1873, did not enter Indiana University until he was thirty years old; eight years after his graduation, he returned there to stay until his death in 1942. He was a pioneer in the development of regional history.
