Always a great student OF his

particularly interested in Indiana
pioneer life. Several years ago she
came to the conclusion that his
tory should be not merely a record
of past events but should give an
appreciative insight into the char
acter Of the people and the condi-
tions governing the times"
Her book, therefore, "endeavors
to depict the character of the typi-
cal settler IN his natural environ.
ment and to present a study of the
social, economic. industrial and ma
terial phases OF pioneer life"
Lives i'm Pioneer Log Cabin

heart of the "wilds" of Jennings

devoted her leisure for two years to
collecting data and two summers
to writing the text.

Miss Bowlus says, "and is the dram
