The Soldier of Indiana in the War for the Union (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Soldier of Indiana in the War for the Union

Indiana's resources for material wealth are vast, and being rapidly developed. Little distinction in the condition of citizens exists. A man might perhaps number the rich on his fingers, and certainly could the beggars, except such as the Old World has sent over the ocean with cards certifying to an escape from a shipwreck or a volcano.

No young State shows finer institutions of learning or of charity. Yet many a boy never sees the inside of a school house, and many a man drops into the ballot-box a vote he cannot read, and makes the cross instead of his name to a deed of sale or purchase.

There are in every community men who seem to be Nature's step-sons, rather than the sons of the bond-woman.
