With the new “Promised Land as Proving Ground” exhibit, scheduled to open in 2023, Conner Prairie will even more radically enlarge its subject matter, examining the lives that free persons of color voluntarily built in a state with an antagonistic white majority. Curatorial Director Charlene Fletcher, who designed the new exhibit from the ground up, described in an interview with David A. Nichols the layout, media components, and modern community partners of “Promised Land.” Dr. Fletcher also explained the exhibit’s goals: to introduce visitors to antebellum Black Hoosiers, who were some of central Indiana’s pioneer settlers (and the ancestors of future Black professionals), and to remind audiences of modern Hoosiers’ ongoing struggle for inclusion and equity.","PeriodicalId":81518,"journal":{"name":"Indiana magazine of history","volume":"118 1","pages":"222 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46468689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stanley Schwartz offers a cultural history that relies on the concept of ritual to unravel a wider range of localized influences that shaped one manifestation of Civil War memory: the Indiana State Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in Indianapolis. Tracing the monument's rise reveals veterans and community leaders confronted with pluralistic debate over the meaning of the obelisk and its surrounding statuary. The attempt to produce a lasting, shared knowledge of the Civil War rooted in soldiers' sacrificial valor required compromises and reevaluations. Using the monument commission's design instructions, reports, and internal notes, Schwartz analyzes how the monument's symbolism developed in relation to quotidian construction decisions. Newspapers and secondary works provide key interpretive links to Indiana's culture. Battles over the monument's construction and ritual demonstrated tensions around Civil War memory linked to the monument's meaning in Gilded Age Indiana.","PeriodicalId":81518,"journal":{"name":"Indiana magazine of history","volume":"508 ","pages":"113 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41271937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indiana's Wabash River reportedly contains the longest free-flowing stretch of water east of the Mississippi. But water in the Wabash wasn't always free-flowing. For more than one hundred years, local, state, and federal actors attempted to engineer the sandy and serpentine Wabash into a water highway that would connect the Ohio River with the Great Lakes. Among the actors attempting to engineer the Wabash into a navigable stream, the Army Corps of Engineers were most active. Their efforts included the construction of dams and dikes, and the dredging of the river bottom to increase its depth for steamers. But for each of these interventions, the Wabash pushed back. Dams were destroyed by ice, snags were redeposited, and upstream sediment filled prior excavations. This article analyzes the lower Wabash River as an envirotechnical system, examining the feedbacks that occurred between technology and hydrology between 1820 and 1935.","PeriodicalId":81518,"journal":{"name":"Indiana magazine of history","volume":"118 1","pages":"112 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42182471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This well-known narrative disregards over ten thousand years of Indiana's past and overlooks the experiences of the first people who settled throughout the state. Ancestral Native Americans created communities and made use of Indiana's abundance for millennia before the first Europeans claimed the region. How they lived, who they were, and the history they made are largely found in archaeological studies rarely included in historical narratives of Indiana. To better understand the history of Native Americans in Indiana, Dawn G. Marsh moves away from a narrative that begins with European colonization and extends the framework of the state's history to the first peopling of the state. This study, based in both history and archaeology, offers a more holistic and balanced story of Indiana's first people.","PeriodicalId":81518,"journal":{"name":"Indiana magazine of history","volume":"118 1","pages":"1 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47183861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
