For five centuries we have told ourselves a flattering story: that the peoples who lived along the Great Lakes and across the Canadian Shield were simple, and that the newcomers who arrived by ship were advanced. This book takes that story apart, gently and completely. Every society that has ever lasted had to solve the same short list of problems.

Indiana was never supposed to be interesting. It was supposed to be orderly. In Hoosier Discipline: An Irreverent History of Indiana, Jordan Blake Carter dismantles the familiar image of Indiana as a bland flyover state and replaces it with something stranger, sharper, and far more revealing.

This is not a nostalgic celebration of covered bridges and small-town charm.

What began as a struggle for survival grew into a movement that brought national attention to a city few expected to become a center of AIDS activism.

On September 17, 1862, while the bloodiest single day in American history raged at Antietam, a network of young officers with flags and telescopes linked staff headquarters, high-ground observation posts, and forward stations close to the fighting, furnishing Major General George B. McClellan with near real-time intelligence on Confederate movements.
