History of Decatur County, Indiana
Its People, Industries and Institutions (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from History of Decatur County, Indiana: Its People, Industries and Institutions The editor, prior to this time, had gathered a lot of mis-information as to the early events of eastern Indiana, and especially as to that part of the state now included within Decatur county. However, careful investiga tion has proven that, in most instances such supposed facts were nothing more than romantic tales, interesting, but with no basis of truth. Thus the editor of this history was deprived of what he had considered a large amount of valuable historical data, but in the elaboration of this Work it has been the constant aim to get exact historical information. This history is an attempt to present the real truth about the growth of he county, and every event which would not stand the historical test has been discarded. Thus, many tales of romance are necessarily omitted; many supposed facts have been found to be without the semblance of truth, and hence find no place in this volume.
