Indiana Miscellany


In the following pages
I have not presumed
to write a history,but
simply sketches and
incidents of the early
settlement of Indiana,
and of some of the
noble men and women
who first emigrated to
her territory. Much of
what I have written has
been from memory
and personal knowledge.
Wm. C. Smith
Martinsville, Ind, 1867
