Meredith Nicholson surveys the culture of his native Indiana at the turn of the century, beginning with its political and social history, its rural types and their dialect. He devotes chapters to the socialist experiment at New Harmony, to the literary town of Crawfordsville and to the writers, James Whitcomb Riley among them, who made Hoosier a household word.
