BIBLIOGRAPHY.--There is a bibliography of Indiana history, by Isaac S.
Bradley, in the _Proceedings_ of the Wisconsin State Historical
Society for 1897. The _History of Indiana_ by William Henry Smith (2
vols., Indianapolis, 1897) is the best general account of Indiana
history and institutions. J. B. Dillon's _History of Indiana_
(Indianapolis, 1859) is the most authoritative account of the early
history to 1816. J. P. Dunn's _Indiana, a Redemption from Slavery_
(Boston, 1888) in the "American Commonwealth" series, as its secondary
title indicates, is devoted principally to the struggle over the
provision in the Ordinance of 1787 prohibiting slavery. For the Civil
War period consult J. A. Woodburn, "Party Politics in Indiana during
the Civil War" in _Annual Report of the American Historical
Association_ (Washington, 1902); W. H. H. Terrell, "Indiana in the War
of the Rebellion" (Official _Report_ of the Adjutant-General
Indianapolis, 1869); and E. B. Pitman, _Trials for Treason at
Indianapolis_ (Indianapolis, 1865). See also De W. C. Goodrich and C.
R. Tuttle, _Illustrated History of the State of Indiana_ (Chicago,
1875); the same, revised and enlarged by W. S. Haymond (Indianapolis,
1879); O. H. Smith, _Early Indiana Trials and Sketches_ (Indianapolis,
1858); and Nathaniel Bolton, "Early History of Indianapolis and
Central Indiana," in Indiana Historical Society _Publications_, No. 5.
"The Executive Journal of Indiana Territory" has been reprinted in the
Indiana Historical Society's _Publications_, vol. iii., 1900. For
government and administration see E. L. Hendricks, _History and
Government of Indiana_ (New York, 1908), _The Legislative and State
Manual of Indiana_ (Indianapolis, published biennially by the State
librarian), _Constitutions of 1816 and 1851 of the State of Indiana
with Amendments_ (Indianapolis, 1897), _School Law of Indiana, with
Annotations_ (Indianapolis, 1904), and Wm. A. Rawles, _Centralizing
Tendencies in the Administration of Indiana_ (New York and London,
1903), Columbia Univ. Press. "The New Municipal Code of Indiana" is
explained in an article by H. O. Stechhan in the _Forum_
(October-December, 1905). For education see Fassett A. Cotton's
_Education in Indiana_ (Indianapolis, 1905), and James A. Woodburn,
_Higher Education in Indiana_ (Washington, 1891), U.S. Documents,
Bureau of Education, Circulars of Information, No. 1. For resources,
industries, &c., consult the _Reports of the Chief of the Bureau of
Statistics of Indiana_ (biennial, Indianapolis, 1886 to date), _Annual
Report of the Department of Geology and Natural Resources_
(Indianapolis, 1869 to date), and _Reports of the State Agricultural
Society_. See also the _Reports_ of the Twelfth Federal Census for
detailed statistical matter as to production, industries and
population.
