Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade
Published in Paperback by William A Thomas Braille Bookstore (April, 1992)
Author: Rob MacGregor
Average review score:

Keeping up with the Joneses
This novelized adaptation of the movie is nothing short of excellent. Rob MacGregor never fails to amaze, and his work here is absolutely true to the movie and a gem to own. Out of print and out of stock, so good luck finding a copy, but there are lots of amazing pictures from the film inside.

Great book
Yet another in the "Find Your Fate" series, this book is entertaining in that it involves the reader in the storyline, and it gives the reader control of the story.

The Indiana State Constitution : A Reference Guide
Published in Hardcover by Greenwood Press (July, 1996)
Author: William P. McLauchlan
Average review score:

Interesting book written by an interesting man
As a joke, the founders of the Indiana State Constitution allowed any person of "good morals" be allowed to practice law in the state. Further, the amendment process is a long and troubled one, so it took the lawyers over 20 years to put standards of competency to practice law. William McLauchlan, a great professor who I studied under, provides an interesting insight to the Indiana State Constitution and recommend this book to anyone interested in law in Indiana.

Things you didn't learn in Indiana History class in school.
I grew up in the wonderful Hoosier state, moved to Nebraska, and now Colorado. There are many interesting trivia questions which one would not necessarily even associate with Indiana. If you're a true Hoosier, it's worth the reading.

Indiana's Trailblazing Women - 2001
Published in Spiral-bound by Trailblazing Women (01 September, 2000)
Author: Judy H. Singleton
Average review score:

Great Hoosier history, and the American Spirit.
More than just about women, it's about Hoosier history, and the kind of good ol' American fortitude that makes our country great. The drive to excel and accomplish is embodied in these women. They illustrate that the pioneer spirit is still part of the Midwest. Their web site has some sample stories too.


Indiana: An Interpretation
Published in Hardcover by Indiana University Press (September, 1992)
Author: John Bartlow Martin
Average review score:

A fascinating view of Indiana history
This book was written in 1947 when Indiana was a very different place. Yet this book endures as a compelling and sometimes critical look at important people, times, and events in Indiana's history.

Martin tells about Indiana's beginnings: How people came to settle here, what those people were like. He shows how the Civil War played out in Indiana, where every fourth-grade student is now told that "brother fought against brother." He describes the poverty of Indiana farm life and how natural gas made many men wealthy, both in the late 1800s. He tells of the "golden years" in the early 1900s, as cities began to rise. And he explains the troubled years of the 1930s and 1940s, which were fresh in the memories of this book's first audience.

Martin's most compelling writing, however, is reserved for his portraits of colorful Indiana men: Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley, socialist leader Eugene V. Debs, infamous Klansman D. C. Stephenson, and others. The story of Debs is the best part of the book. Martin clearly sympathized with Debs, who championed the worker from his Terre Haute home and, later, from the Presidentail campaign trail and, finally, from prison. Debs's story is all the more interesting to me because I lived in Terre Haute for several years in the 1990s. My apartment was a mile or so north of Debs's home on Eighth Street, which still stands as a historical site. I can imagine the physical setting of Debs's Terre Haute activism as Martin relates it. But it is difficult for me to imagine the spirit of the city in those days, if nothing else because the city's current sleepiness stands in such stark contrast.


Indianapolis Dining
Published in Paperback by Chicago Review Press (March, 1987)
Author: Reid Duffy
Average review score:

The most unique dining experience in Indianapolis
Loon Lake Lodge Restaurant was the best restaurant we had been to in a long time. The food was excellent and the service was great. The atmosphere is deep in a forest where woodland animals seem to pop out every now and then, making this an ideal spot for a family dinner. The restaurant also offered a quiet, relaxed, and romantic side for couples.
