Inhaltsangabe

Penned by a historian who lived most of his life in and around the town he loves, Our Town is a thorough [page number]-page historical record of Monrovia, Indiana. Following the first History of Monrovia, penned by Lena Henley in 1934 for the town’s centennial, and local historian Virginia Jett’s Monrovia Sesquicentennial History Book, compiled in 1984, historian Steve Reeder’s Our Town is Monrovia’s bicentennial record. Compiled by Reeder through research and the Local History Project he organized beginning in 2015 to bolster the community and to preserve and recognize its history, this book is largely a record for the community by the community. From the earliest documentation of its settlers in 1608 to its founding in 1834 and transformation in the two hundred years since, this record breaks down the community as a whole, the service of hundreds of veterans, biographical accounts of local legends like Branch McCracken, and much more. For ease of navigation, readers may refer to the nine appendices of compiled data, the thorough index, and over 600 footnote citations, making this book a proven resource for community members, historians, and genealogists alike. The only constant theme in history is change. In this book, walk through the town of Monrovia and see how it changed and grew during more than 200 years of community, service, and achievement, proving this little town has had a big impact on history.
