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.

Excerpt from The Soldier of Indiana in the War for the Union
On July 10th, 1862, we issued a circular, which was mailed to the officers of every Indiana regiment, soliciting such information as would enable us to prepare a complete record of the part taken by our State in the suppression of the Rebellion. In addition to a full narration, we proposed to give the names of all Indianians who had fallen in their country's service, if not of all who had enrolled themselves in her armies. We expected to commence the issue of our work as early as September, 1862.
Circumstances, however, delayed publication until the present time, and also compelled a modification of our plan, especially in regard to the catalogue of names. The men of Indiana must blame their own patriotism, so promptly, largely, and gloriously displayed that it would require the compass of an encyclopædia to contain individual names.
In the prosecution of our work, we have had serious difficulties to encounter. Sometimes it has been next to impossible to decide between contradictory, or to reconcile incongruous statements. Sometimes we have been unable to obtain particulars of some interesting event. And sometimes, again, while we have had full and clear accounts of the part one regiment has taken in an action, we have had very slight information in regard to the equally important part borne in the same action by another.
These difficulties continue, and perhaps will continue throughout our work.
