The Indiana Home (Hardcover, New edition)

"...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". "In a style remarkable for ease and lucidity, the author has recreated the Indiana of his great-grandparents' day." - "Saturday Review". 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 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. The artifacts of pioneer life, tools, implements, and home furnishings are charmingly illustrated by master artist Bruce Rogers, of Indiana, who was an internationally known designer of types and books.
