Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical pageant about the town of Corydon, Indiana, from its time as the seat of the Indiana Territorial Government in 1813 and until it gave up that position 12 years later to the newly chosen capital, Indianapolis. Set in the Public Square in front of the Old Capitol, the book is much more than a cursory examination of dates and names, instead breathing life into the people who lived in Corydon and giving voice to their thoughts and feelings at this pivotal time in Indiana's history. Many of the sentiments and themes that emerge from the historical material will strongly resonate with readers today, such as the importance of education, the need to come together during trying times, and the power of ghting for what you believe in. From the start at the completion of the Court House, to the half-time break which commemorates Indiana's entry into the Union, to the bittersweet conclusion, as the capital is moved away but the people of Corydon reassert their pride and determination, this book paints a vivid and insightful picture of what life was like in the Hoosier State in its early days. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
