History of Johnston County, IndianaFrom the earliest time to the present, with biographical sketches, notes, etc., together with a short history of the Northwest, the Indiana territory, and the state of Indiana .. . le,believing it is for the facts and not for rhetorical display that thebook is desired. The mechanical execution and general appear-ance of the volume will recommend it, even to the fastidious. Thearrangement of the matter is such as to render an index almostsuperfluous, as the subject under consideration is at the top of everyright-hand page. For further details the italic subdivisions willenable the reader to refer with readiness to any topic. In the spell-ing of proper names there is such a wide difference, even amongmembers of the same family, and is a matter of so arbitrary a nature,that our only guide was each mans desire. Every clew that gavepromise of important facts connected with the countys history hasbeen investigated by those engaged in the work. We believe thevolume will be favorably received and highly appreciated by thosefor whom it was prepared. Our thanks are due to those who haverendered us assistance and to our patrons.
