商品簡介
This book explores the lives and worldviews of Indiana's southern hill-country residents during much of the nineteenth century. Focusing on local institutions - political, economic, and religious - it gives voice to the plain farmers of the region and reveals the world as they saw it. These settlers from the Upland South, Pennsylvania, and Catholic Germany shared a belief that morality was best centered in the local community, its churches, and its families. This belief shaped and was shaped by political ideology, economic activities, and religious doctrines.
