Excerpt from A. C. Howard's Directory, for the City of Indianapolis: Containing a Correct List of Citizens' Names, Their Residence and Place of Business; With a Historical Sketch on Indianapolis, From the Earliest History to the Present Day In presenting our first issue to the public, some what later in the season than -we at first proposed, prefering to present the desired information in a correct form, which necessarily caused some delay. Our intention, at first, was to have the work ready for delivery about the first of April, difficulties attending this as will naturally occur in compiling a work of this kind, we was necessarily compelled to delay its publication until the present time. We feel confident we have discharged our duty, and with the hope it will receive the approval of a generous public, we place the work before you for a deliberate perusal. The citizens have in this instance acted liberal, we allude especially to our advertisers, for to them, we look for assistance, and in whom we have been equally interested, in displaying their cards to the best advantage, as well as their names, in the Business Mirror. And we return our, sincere thanks for your support, hoping entire satisfaction will exist among all, we respectfully solicit a continuance of your patronage in our next issue. Our intention is fixed upon publishing an annual Directory for Indianapolis, and in this, we expect the assistance of the citizens, with it a work can be made valuable, without it useless. Some trouble existed in canvassing for names which in future we hope to obviate, a large portion of our foreign citizens not speaking the English language, inaccurate names, will unavoidably be inserted. In reference to our annual contributors we would here allude to the advantage of advertising. As it will be our highest aim to please all and have their cards conspicuously displayed, as well as their names in the Business Mirror, which we hope will be sufficient inducement to ensure a hearty support. Non supporters will be confined to small type, under a general head, merely giveing their names without designating their place of business.

As its name denotes, Indianapolis is without question Indiana's city. Known as the Crossroads of America, Indianapolis and the surrounding communities have and continue to play an important role in politics, logistics, and commerce for both the state and the country. Indianapolis: A Concise History looks at the development of the city from a frontier village to a major railroad city in the late nineteenth century and through its continued growth in the twentieth century. Author and historian Jon C. Teaford reveals the origins of the Indianapolis Speedway, the rise and fall of the Ku Klux Klan, the persistent racial tension in the city, and the revitalization efforts under Mayor William Hudnut and his successors. Since 1824 Indianapolis has been the state's largest city, its political center, and the home of Indiana's state government, and it continues to be a center for urban growth.

As a planned community, Indianapolis boasted finished frame and brick buildings from its beginning. Architects and builders drew on Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, French Second Empire, Gothic, Romanesque, and Italian Renaissance styles for commercial, industrial, public, and religious buildings and for residences. In Architecture in Indianapolis: 1820–1900, preservationist and architectural historian Dr. James Glass explores the rich variety of architecture that appeared during the city's first 80 years, to 1900. Glass explains how economic forces shaped building cycles, such as the Canal Era, the advent of railroads, the natural gas boom, and repeated recessions and recoveries. He describes 243 buildings that illustrate the styles that architects and builders incorporated into the designs that they devised in each era between 1820 and 1900. This book also documents the loss of distinctive 19th century architecture that has occurred in Indianapolis. It includes 373 photographs and drawings that depict the buildings described and locator maps that show where concentrations of buildings were constructed. Architecture in Indianapolis: 1820–1900 provides the first history of 19th-century architecture in the city and will serve as an indispensable reference for decades to come.

In September 1868, the remains of Jacob and Nancy Jane Young were found lying near the banks of Indiana's White River. Suspicion for both deaths turned to Nancy Clem, a housewife who was also one of Mr. Young's former business partners. Wendy Gamber chronicles the life and times of this charming and persuasive Gilded Age confidence woman, who became famous not only as an accused murderess but also as an itinerant peddler of patent medicine and the supposed originator of the Ponzi scheme.
