Book Description
This is a splendid example of how to write well balanced, highly readable state history. --The Old Northwest "Madison has succeeded as have few other authors of state histories in blending modern scholarly concerns with the traditional narrative historiography of his state. This book is in many ways a model state history." --Choice "Neither too detailed and provincial, nor too broad and comparative, The Indiana Way adopts an integrated analytical approach, but also includes some narrative and biography." --Journal of American History
Finding a New Midwestern History
Author: Jon K. LauckPublisher: University of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496201825
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
In comparison to such regions as the South, the far West, and New England, the Midwest and its culture have been neglected both by scholars and by the popular press. Historians as well as literary and art critics tend not to examine the Midwest in depth in their academic work. And in the popular imagination, the Midwest has never really ascended to the level of the proud, literary South; the cultured, democratic Northeast; or the hip, innovative West Coast. Finding a New Midwestern History revives and identifies anew the Midwest as a field of study by promoting a diversity of viewpoints and lending legitimacy to a more in-depth, rigorous scholarly assessment of a large region of the United States that has largely been overlooked by scholars. The essays discuss facets of midwestern life worth examining more deeply, including history, religion, geography, art, race, culture, and politics, and are written by well-known scholars in the field such as Michael Allen, Jon Butler, and Nicole Etcheson.

Book Description
In 1978 the Indiana Historical Society took a fresh look at the highly paper edition (unseen) is reportedly available for $19.95. acclaimed guide to Indiana produced by the Federal Writer's Project of the WPA in 1941. They considered revising that entertaining and anecdotal model of the genre, but decided it was too obsolete. A ten year project was undertaken to create a new guide, and this volume is the result of those efforts. Nineteen large circular tours that pass through almost all of the state's counties are thoroughly detailed. (Don't look here for a listing of restaurants and accommodations. That ephemeral data can be found elsewhere and has not been included.) A Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
