Book Synopsis Hoosiers and the American Story by : Madison, James H.
Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Book Synopsis The Hoosier Game by : James Leroy Brunnemer
Download or read book The Hoosier Game written by James Leroy Brunnemer and published by . This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "THE HOOSIER GAME" On Friday, March 16, 1894 members of the YMCA at Lafayette, Indiana, traveled to nearby Crawfordsville to challenge their counterparts in a new game invented two years earlier by Dr. James Naismith. He called it "basket-ball". It was the first contest played outside the state of Massachusetts. Avoiding the pot-bellied stove in the middle of the gymnasium floor, the teams engaged in a spirited competition. The Crawfordsville Y won, 45-21. Hoosier Hysteria was born. The impact of the game of basketball on the culture of Indiana has been profound, affecting the customs, social institutions, and the attitudes and behaviors of the people of this uniquely Midwestern state. "The Hoosier Game" is a tale of two boys--best friends Josh and Jake--whose lives intertwine through a shared allegiance to and love for the game of basketball in the 1950s and 1960s. Through meticulous research and a nearly photographic recall of people and events, the author provides a close-up view of an event once considered to be the premier high school athletic event in America--the Indiana State basketball tournament. The IHSAA's winner-take-all format would become nationally recognized for its scope and drama. The tournament was acknowledged by observers--even beyond Hoosier borders--as the greatest high school sports attraction in the world. In its infancy basketball provided inexpensive entertainment for the masses and became a source of community pride in small Hoosier settlements. Spirited rivalries developed among neighboring villages. Hoosier farmers' social calendars in the fall and winter months came to revolve around two events: church services on Sunday and the boys' high school game on Friday nights. But the book is about more than basketball. The author, who lived through the age, captures in vivid detail significant historical and cultural changes of that era--including the repatriation of World War II veterans seeking the American Dream; the Cold War that brought the U.S. and Russia to the brink of another worldwide conflagration; the internecine struggle for civil rights; the transformation of a country torn asunder during the war in Vietnam; as well as numerous other social developments in a generation from post-war America through today. Garry Donna, a member of the Indiana High School Basketball Hall of Fame, commented, "As publisher of "Hoosier Basketball Magazine" for 43 years I have read many books about basketball in general and, specifically, about high school basketball in Indiana. None has captured the true feeling and spirit of the game's 'golden years', of the 1950s and 1960s like Jim Brunnemer's historical fiction. The insightful, behind-the-scenes look at practices, player relationships, and the emotional reactions and total involvement of the townspeople is absolutely riveting--especially the surprise ending. For basketball fans everywhere 'The Hoosier Game' qualifies as an exhilarating literary experience. Don't miss it." Retired coach and also a member of the Hall of Fame, Sam Alford, added, "'The Hoosier Game' achieves with accuracy and thoroughness one of the most interesting and popular periods in Indiana basketball history. I certainly enjoyed my trip down memory lane and recommend to every fan of Indiana basketball to read and enjoy, as much as I did, 'The Hoosier Game'." Bill Benner, author, award-winning sportswriter for the 'Indianapolis Star', and Senior Associate Commissioner for the NCAA-D1 Horizon League, said succinctly, "Short version: I love the book! Only a true Hoosier such as Jim Brunnemer could spin this uniquely Hoosier basketball tale so well." Order your copy now, and relive those days when high school basketball was unrivaled in its dominion over the inhabitants of the state of Indiana.

Book Synopsis Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch, Second Edition: St. Louis's South Side by : Jim Merkel
Download or read book Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch, Second Edition: St. Louis's South Side written by Jim Merkel and published by Reedy Press LLC. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the South Side, there lived a tactless TV guy who had a way of getting tossed out of everything on camera, from the old VP Fair to Bill Clinton’s 1996 local re-election victory party. On the South Side, there dwelt a collector of ancient vacuum cleaners, none of which worked when he demonstrated them before millions of guffawing viewers watching on national television. And on the South Side, a beer baron tried to fight off Prohibition with a high-class, three-sided beer hall. It’s all in the second edition of Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch: St. Louis’s South Side. The first edition captured the essence of the South St. Louis, with its tales of women scrubbing steps ever Saturday, the yummy brain sandwich, and a nationally known gospel performer who ran a furniture store in the Cherokee neighborhood. These stories, along with the new ones that fill the second edition, convey what gives a truly unique place its rough but charming personality. The result—Holy Hoosiers!—is an edition that’s even better than the first!

Download or read book The Milan Miracle written by Bill Riley and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will lightning ever strike twice? Can David beat Goliath a second time? These questions haunt everyone in the small town of Milan, Indiana, whose basketball team inspired Hoosiers, the greatest underdog sports movie ever made. From a town of just 1,816 residents, the team remains forever an underdog, but one with a storied past that has them eternally frozen in their 1954 moment of glory. Every ten years or so, Milan has a winning season, but for the most part, they only manage a win or two each year. And still, perhaps because it's the only option for Milan, the town believes that the Indians can rise again. Bill Riley follows the modern day Indians for a season and explores how the Milan myth still permeates the town, the residents, and their high level of expectations of the team. Riley deftly captures the camaraderie between the players and their coach and their school pride in being Indians. In the end, there are few wins or causes for celebration—there is only the little town where basketball is king and nearly the whole town shows up to watch each game. The legend of Milan and Hoosiers is both a blessing and a curse.

Book excerpt: After the death of his mother, the author reflects on the people, activities, and experiences of his youth in the small Indiana town in which he grew up and how they helped shape him as a person.

Download or read book Hoosier Public Enemy written by John Beineke and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the bleak days of the Great Depression, news of economic hardship often took a backseat to articles on the exploits of an outlaw from Indiana—John Dillinger. For a period of fourteen months during 1933 and 1934 Dillinger became the most famous bandit in American history, and no criminal since has matched him for his celebrity and notoriety. Dillinger won public attention not only for his robberies, but his many escapes from the law. The escapes he made from jails or “tight spots,” when it seemed law officials had him cornered, became the stuff of legends. While the public would never admit that they wanted the “bad guy” to win, many could not help but root for the man who appeared to be an underdog. Although his crime wave took place in the last century, the name Dillinger has never left the public imagination
