Abe's Youth
A new book on the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society has been published by the Indiana University Press. Abe's Youth is a collection of papers presented at meetings of the group, which was founded in the early 1920s. A few years ago an author named Keith Erekson published Everybody's History, about the group. William Bartelt and Joshua A. Claybourn brought this out as a supplement to Erekson's work, given that the papers that the group put together are not generally available other than in manuscript form in various libraries. Bartelt is the author of There I Grew Up, about Lincoln's Indiana years.

As an aside. I will be giving a speech to the Tri-State Genealogical Society in February of 2020 in Evansville, Ind., on the life and career of the SWIHS's founder, John E. Iglehart.

Thanks for the information on the book. I am ordering the paperback since $65. is a little steep. I am glad it is available in both formats.
Congrats on the upcoming speech in February.
Joe

I hadn't seen the hardcover available, Joe, but I have to agree with you. The book is good, but not that good.
