Looking at History: Indiana’s Hoosier National Forest Region, 1600 to 1950

Indiana University Press is pleased to be able to collaborate with the Hoosier National Forest in making this engaging look at the Forest region available to a wide audience. “Looking at History” examines the history from geologic times to the present of a nine-county region – Perry, Jackson, Orange, Crawford, Dubois, Lawrence, Monroe, Martin, and Brown. It is an area rich in cultural heritage – prehistoric Indians, pioneer settlers, rural family life, folklore. “Looking at History” concentrates on the land and the natural culture of the inhabitants to produce a unique portrait of a distinctive area of our state. Included are 105 photographs, drawings, and maps.
