In Indiana in the Civil War Era, 1850–1880 (vol. 3, History of Indiana Series), author Emma Lou Thornbrough deals with the era of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Thornbrough utilized scholarly writing as well as examined basic source materials, both published and unpublished, to present a balanced account of life in Indiana during the Civil War era, with attention given to political, economic, social, and cultural developments. The book includes a bibliography, notes, and index.
Indianapolis began its secondary system with a singular, decidedly academic high school, but ended the 1960s with multiple high schools with numerous paths to graduation. Making a Mass Institution describes how this process created both a distinct youth culture and a divided and unjust system, one that effectively sorted students geographically, economically, and racially.
Religion, Race, and Reconstruction simultaneously resurrects a lost dimension of a most important segment of American history and illuminates America’s present and future by showing the role religious issues played in Reconstruction during the 1870s.
Features essays, statistical data, period photographs, maps, and documents.
""This anthology is important for historians of education, but... it has a larger purpose. Public schools have 'remained a faithful barometer of the major economic, political and social changes that swept across the nation.' Social historians can learn much from this well-written anthology."" -- Journal of American History .."". a fine contribution to the history of public policy studies."" -- The Public Historian School reform activists sometimes forget that schools are a product of history, that many proposed reforms were tried before -- with mixed results. That understanding of the past is critical to our understanding of current efforts to improve schools. These original studies of school reform in Indiana, from before the Civil War to the most recent efforts, offer a much-needed perspective on the reoccurring struggle to remake the public schools in a new image.
Excerpt from The Government of the State of Indiana: For Use in the Public Schools This volume is my contribution to the youth of the State of Indiana. If it shall teach them a better knowledge of the laws and institutions and enable them to become bet ter citizens of this State, I shall be amply repaid. I have endeavored to be so plain that the simplest mind could understand me. All technicalities and technical expressions have been studiously avoided. Perhaps the book contains technical inaccuracies but that is the necessary result, if there be any, 'of the attempt to use plain and simple language. My constant effort has been to make the subject attractive to the reader, and to relieve it of dry and unnecessary details. In every school there should be a recent edition of the Statutes of this State, to be used as a reference book, the same as an ordinary dictionary is used.
