In addition the Central Area‟s development was not part of a unified real state scheme with coordinated public improvements (such as the Mount Baker community). For these reasons, it has never had official boundaries and various writers describe its extent in various ways. Almost all attempts to describe the neighborhood include a core area bounded by Madison Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, 15th Avenue on the west, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (formerly Empire Way) on the east. In 1975, Nyberg and Steinbrueck identified the eastern boundary of the Central Area as 30th Avenue (more or less), and also included extensions to the north and south of the core area. The extension to the south of Jackson Street was bounded by 30th Avenue (approximately) on the east, Interstate 90 on the south, and the mid-block alley just east of Rainier Avenue South on the west. The extension to the north of Madison Street was bounded on the west by 23rd Avenue, on the east by the Washington Park Arboretum, and extended north to a line just north of East Helen Street marking the boundary between the plats known as the Madison Park Addition and the Hazelwood Addition Supplemental.1 Walt Crowley describes the neighborhood as a “sprawling residential district .

    The Shiloh Letters of George W. Lennard

    “Give Yourself No Trouble About Me”: The Shiloh Letters of George W. Lennard Edited by Paul Hubbard and Christine Lewis” Hoosiers were stout defenders of the Union in the Civil War, and one who came forward willingly to serve and die was George W. Lennard. When the Thirty-sixth Indiana Volunteer Infantry regiment was organized in September, 1861, Lennard joined its ranks as a private soldier but was immediately elected lieutenant and named as adjutant. His duty with the Thirty-sixth was short-lived, however, because within weeks he was made a captain and assigned as aide-de-camp to Brigadier General Thomas J. Wood, who in the Shiloh campaign com- manded the Sixth Division of Major General Don Carlos Buell’s Army of the Ohio. Shortly before the battle of Murfreesboro, or Stone’s River, December 31, 1862-January 2, 1863, Lennard was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the Fifty-seventh Indi- ana Volunteer Infantry, and at that battle he was wounded while fighting with his regiment. After convalescing in the spring of 1863, he rejoined his unit for the campaign against Chattanooga under Major General William S. Rosecrans. When the Federal forces occupied that city in September, 1863, Len- nard was detailed as provost marshal, and he had no part in the Battle of Chickamauga. The Fifty-seventh Indiana, how- ever, did participate in the storming of Missionary Ridge in November, and Lennard escaped unscathed in that dramatic assault. In the spring of 1864 fortune deserted him, and as the Army of the Cumberland marched toward Atlanta, he was wounded at Resaca, Georgia, on the afternoon of May 14 and died that evening.’ * Paul Hubbard is professor of history, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona.

Master’s Thesis Committee _________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D., Chair ________________________________ Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D. ________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgements As I entered the Public History Graduate Program at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, I was given a valuable piece of advice from Dr. Philip V. Scarpino that helped guide me through the selection of a thesis topic: “Choose a topic meaningful to you, which can be supported with an abundance of primary source material.” A case study on the Henry County Historical Society served me well in both regards. As a native of Henry County, Indiana, my association and appreciation for the Henry County Historical Society dates back many years. The organization’s rich history inspired me to learn more about not only the historical society movement in Indiana but also the movement at the national and regional levels as well. Few organizational histories exist for local historical societies in Indiana. I was motivated to tell the story and document the significant history of an institution with a past intermingled with my own. I am indebted to many special individuals who provided support and guidance through the process of researching and writing this thesis.

These handbooks supplement various essential training activities of unit leader development programs, military history readiness exercises, and military history education programs as required by Army regulation. Specifically, the immediate goal of the staff ride methodology is to make the professional development experience of military leaders more meaningful, by stimulating the process of historical inquiry, analysis, and application. The ultimate goal of this publication is to help develop and sustain a historically minded officer and noncommissioned officer corps in the Army Reserve capable of applying a historical perspective to the resolution of contemporary military problems, and, in turn, to support the reserve component's mission of readiness for war.
