Looking at History

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.
