Life Of General John Tipton And Early Indiana History

Excerpt from Life of General John Tipton and Early Indiana History The history and biography of General Tipton has been fully written for the first time in this volume very much of it never having been in print before. To secure this material difficult re-search was made and considerable correspondence with many people who had some relic about their homes as a reminder of the deeds of General Tipton. Old looks old pamphlets old magazines old newspapers and old letters were hunted up and read with little bits of information gathered here and there we are enabled to produce a volume pertain ing to Indiana history and the life of a man whom historians have paid little attention. For a great deal of this material the writer is indebted to. Lieutenant - Governor Th. Hugh Miller and George Price of Colum bus B. F. Lawrence managing editor of the Indianapolis Star. Hon. Dan. Mcdonald of Plymouth A. C. Reser and Thomas E. Burt of La Fayette the latter loaning us several of the illustrations appearing in this edition.
