My Dear Young Friends: You have read of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp and of the genii who turned everything into glittering gold, and commonplace surroundings into palaces of delight. The story I have to tell you is more wonderful than any tale of fairy or genie. It tells how an almost limitless wilderness was turned into a great and prosperous State not in a moments time, by the waving of a wand but by the patient toil of thousands of brave and sturdy men and women, in a period of less than one hundred years. They were the genii who swept away the forests, made the farms, built the cities and established civilization. The merit of this story lies in the truth of its magic, and in this it is superior to any fairy tale. There are those yet living who have witnessed much of this wonderful transformation, and it seems a fitting time, at the close of this Nineteenth Century, that the young people of Indiana should be told that all the growth, all the progress and improvement in Indiana has been made since 1800. I ndeed, Indiana is one of the miracles of the closing century. In giving this little book to you it is my sincere desire that you may derive half the pleasure in reading that I did in writing it. This is scarcely to be expected, however, for the entire year which I devoted to its preparation was a constant delight the very happiest of my life, so in point of time, at least, I have the advantage of my readers. I f, like the heroes and heroines of the old fairy tales, I should be granted three wishes concerning this book shall I tell you what they would be? 1st. I would create in the minds and hearts of the boys and girls of Indiana a genuine love and pride for our State; a desire to know more about her and a determination to be worthy to be called her citizens. 2d.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher
