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.

    Isaac C.B. Suman, Colonel, F&S, 9Th in Infantry

    Isaac C.B. Suman, Colonel, F&S, 9th IN Infantry, USA 1831 Jan 4: Isaac C.B. Suman was born in Middletown, MD to parents Albert and Mary Suman. Albert Suman served under General Francis Marion during the Revolutionary War and after the war, settled down in Maryland and became a successful and wealthy slaveholder and planter.1 1846 May: At the age of fifteen, Suman volunteered with the First U.S. Artillery in Ringgold’s Battery and went off to fight in the War with Mexico. He saw action at numerous battles and after the war was transferred to the Second U.S. Dragoons and served with them for several years.2 1850 Jul 31: The U.S. Federal Census enumerated in Frederick County, MD showed nineteen year old Isaac Suman resided with his widowed mother, Mary, and siblings. Isaac and his older brother, Albert, were both listed as carpenters. 1860 Jun 6: The U.S. Federal Census enumerated in Valparaiso, IN showed that Isaac Suman lived in a boarding house owned by a woman named Elizabeth Campbell. He was twenty nine. 1861 April 20: Isaac Suman married Catherine Margaret Goss in Porter County, IN. April 22: Enlisted as 1st Lieutenant in the 9th IN Infantry for a term of three months. This regiment was shipped east and participated in some of the earliest action of the American Civil War. They were engaged at Philippi, Rich Mountain, and numerous other small engagements before their three month enlistment was up. Many regiments like this were formed, North and South, in the late spring of 1861 because many thought the war would be a quick, relatively bloodless ordeal.
