Excerpt from Charcoal Sketches of Old Times in Fort Wayne Mr. Dawson obviously was a very temperate man. He apparently never ceased nor slackened in his denunciation of the use of rum. His fre quent references to the Black Beast of intemperance and the blighting mildew of inebriety reflect his personal attitude toward the use of liquor. Although there may be much truth in what he has to say relative to the use of strong drink. His personal opinions and observations do not seem rele vant nor pertinent to the general reader of articles of this nature. This, as well as his frequent and somewhat lengthy quotations from the Bible and literature, accounts for the aforementioned deletions throughout his sketches and the omission of article X. Charcoal sketches have been presented as Mr. Dawson wrote them. Although, some of the facts are not in complete agreement with the writings of other early Fort Wayne historians.

Excerpt from Fort Wayne in 1838 Whatever relates to the early history of the place of long residence is of much interest, and more, if time has thrown the period of early incidents far into the past, or if the march of improvement has removed nearly every vestige of early appear ance. For this purpose we shall, for a few days, change the bill of fare which we ordinarily set before our readers, and go back twenty-two years, and after noticing a few places on the road most generally then traveled to and from Fort Wayne, give a bird's-eye view of this place as it appeared in March and during the summer of 1838, hoping to thereby induce others whose history goes back of that period, to give some of their recollections. About the first of March, 1838, the writer for the first time leaving home in Dearborn County, Indiana, was mounted on horse and turned face northward for Fort Wayne, then one of the outposts, and which was reached only after long and tedious journeyings. But it so happened that the ground was frozen, and on it laid a deep and well-packed snow, the depth of which continued to increase as we each day neared the city of our destination, and which we reached on sleds, sleighs, and jumpers, and on horse over the Piqua Road to Fort Wayne.

A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
