"Many of the sketches contained in this book were originally published in the Indianapolis Journal. These, and such as have been given the public in other papers, have been carefully revised and rewritten. ... The dead Governors of Indiana 'both Territorial and State' are sketched, and monographs of other distinguished men are given. The book contains other papers, of a historical character... The information contained in this book, which necessarily develops much of the early political history of the State, was obtained from various sources, and can not elsewhere be found without great research and labor."
