Excerpt from Eleventh Annual Report of the Waterloo Historical Society, 1923 History shows us that wheat, maize, the sweet potato, several species of Panicum, tobacco, and other plants, espec ially annuals, were widely diffused before the historical period. One of the 'most ancient records regarding cultivated plants is a drawing representing figs, found in Egypt in the pyramid of Gizeh, supposed to have been built at least 2500 years before the Christian era. In China, 2700 years before Christ, the Emperor Chenming instituted the ceremony at which every year five species of useful plants are sown - rice, sweet potato, wheat, and two kinds of millet Agriculture appears then to be as ancient in China as in Egypt. In a few cases the cultivation of certain plants began so early that no trace of them can be found growing in a wildstate. The lentil, and chick pea, no longer exist in nature, and other species such as wheat, maize, and broad bean, very rarely appearing wild, seem to be in course of extinction.

A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Getting the Message Through, the companion volume to Rebecca Robbins Raines' Signal Corps, traces the evolution of the corps from the appointment of the first signal officer on the eve of the Civil War, through its stages of growth and change, to its service in Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. Raines highlights not only the increasingly specialized nature of warfare and the rise of sophisticated communications technology, but also such diverse missions as weather reporting and military aviation. Information dominance in the form of superior communications is considered to be sine qua non to modern warfare. As Raines ably shows, the Signal Corps--once considered by some Army officers to be of little or no military value--and the communications it provides have become integral to all aspects of military operations on modern digitized battlefields. The volume is an invaluable reference source for anyone interested in the institutional history of the branch.
