Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Indiana: An Interpretation is arguably the best single book about
Indiana. Originally published in 1947, John Bartlow Martin's work
sparked controversy in Indiana for challenging Hoosiers'
assumptions about their history and how they saw themselves and
their state. Although the book only covers the period from the
Civil War to just after World War II, Martin's interpretation of
the Hoosier character, thought, and way of living is still as
relevant today as when it was first written. A new afterword by
Martin biographer Ray E. Boomhower contextualizes the book for
today's readers and reveals why it has become a modern Indiana
classic.
