BIBLIOGRAPHY
Newspapers. A large part of the history of Indiana must of necessity be written from Newspaper sources. When it is possible to use several files covering the same period it is relatively easy by com- paring to ascertain the facts. Many files have been used con- tinually but the following are mentioned as most important for this period :
Vincennes Western Sun, 1807 to the present.
Indianapolis Journal, 1825 to 1904.
Indianapolis Democrat and Sentinel, 1823 to 1904.
Madison Courier, 1837 to present.
Logansport Pharos and the Logansport Telegraph.
Lawrenceburg Palladium and the Vincennes Centinel.
Usually references have been made to a single file but it is not difficult to find any current event in a newspaper file if the date is kept in mind.
