Indiana and Indianans: A History of Aboriginal and Territorial Indiana and the Century of Statehood Volume 1 is a comprehensive historical account of the state of Indiana, from its earliest indigenous inhabitants to its establishment as a state. Written by Jacob Piatt Dunn, a noted historian and author, this book explores the rich and diverse history of Indiana and its people, including the Native American tribes that once inhabited the region, the early European explorers and settlers who arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the pioneers who helped to build the state in the 19th century.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different period in Indiana's history. The first chapter explores the prehistoric era, when the region was inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Miami, Potawatomi, and Shawnee. The second chapter covers the arrival of European explorers and traders, including French fur traders and British colonists. The third chapter focuses on the American Revolution and its impact on Indiana, including the role of Native American tribes in the conflict.Subsequent chapters cover the establishment of the Indiana Territory in the early 19th century, the growth of the state's economy and infrastructure, and the social and political changes that took place during the 19th century. Throughout the book, Dunn provides detailed accounts of key events and individuals, including the founding of the city of Indianapolis, the Battle of Tippecanoe, and the life of William Henry Harrison, Indiana's first governor.Overall, Indiana and Indianans: A History of Aboriginal and Territorial Indiana and the Century of Statehood Volume 1 is a fascinating and informative account of the history of Indiana and its people.
