O knihe

Indiana has played an important role in the collective history of the United States. Driving across the Hoosier state, motorists can connect with its rich history by stopping to read the inscribed roadside tablets that mark the sites where history was made. These posted roadside markers of "historical literature" allows us to know what has happened in the past, where and when. and to whom. This regional marker guidebook allows us to be traveling "road scholars" as well as home bound, arm chair "scholars in residence." Inside this guide, intrepid explorers will discover the text to nearly 500 roadside markers that have been installed and maintained by the Indiana Historical Bureau. The easy-to-follow highway directions will guide excursionists to each marker's location. To aid in your search, Indiana's official state highway map and Delorme's Indiana Atlas are recommended. Also, there is a mix of graphics to add visual interest to the pages. Two separate indexes list the markers alphabetically by county and by marker title. In short, the profuse story of Indiana's people, places and events fill the pages. History surrounds us wherever we go. Be informed and entertained, and enjoy your trips across Indiana! Take this book and learn as you go!
