Stories of Indiana 12+

🔖 This book contains an interesting and instructive history of the state of Indiana, detailed in stand-alone stories written with the aim of presenting the characteristics of people, the time, and the locality so as to make the book unfold scene after scene, running apace with the progress of the State’s civilisation. Written with a hope that this book would give young minds a great thirst for history, this text comprises a series of life sketches, preferring men and events over philosophical and analytical studies – a must-have for anyone interested in the state of Indiana and its vibrant history. James Maurice Thompson was an American novelist whose other notable works include: The Ocala Boy (1895), A Tallahassee Girl (1882) and A Fortnight of Folly (1888). Originally written in 1898, we are proud to republish this rare book with a new introductory biography of its author.
