Indiana Legends: Famous Hoosiers from Johnny Appleseed to David Letterman Book

Researching historical figures for over two years, visiting historical figures for over two years, visiting almost every historic site in the state and working with the Indiana Historical Society, Nelson Price has created a vivid, detailed, and fascinating series of portraits of political leaders, entertainment and sport figures, and just plain local characters who achieved fame or notoriety. Nelson's own prize-winning newspaper interviews done over fifteen years add contemporary interest to the collection, and famous Indiana illustrations, along with portraits and photographs from leading state collections, contribute a rich dimension to the stories.
