Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 About The Book Still More Brown County Stories Recollections and Collected Tales The purpose of this book, like the two previous volumes of Brown County Stories, is to share some of the fun and interesting things that happened when I lived in Brown County. Most of the stories were told to my five daughters around campfires and at many bedtime sessions as they were growing up. After several years of story times I was once obliged to let my youngest daughter, Abby Monroe, know that I had told her everything I could remember or even make up. Her response was, “OK, just start over.” The various accounts of these uncommon experiences were reinforced for Abby and her older sisters as they visited their grandmother in Nashville, the County Seat of Brown County. From that base, they were able to explore the territory where the stories took place. This volume includes some stories that were recently shared with me by friends who felt they would help to illustrate what Brown County was like in the good old days. They are as true as creative memories have allowed. They also provide additional support for the maxim that truth is often stranger than fiction

The stories offered here were told to my five daughters around campfires and at many bedtime sessions as they were growing up. They requested that I tell them over and over again. They heard these stories, and many others like them, so many times they said they felt like they actually grew up with Cobweb, and Virgil, and Hazel, and Sis, and Bobby, and Stretch. After many retellings I was once obliged to let my youngest daughter know that I had told her everything I could remember, or even make up. To which she replied, “OK then, just start over.” The various accounts of these uncommon experiences were reinforced for my daughters when they visited their grandmother who lived in Nashville, the County Seat of Brown County, and were able to explore the territory where they took place. All of these stories are based on things that actually happened to me and other live people in the good old days in Brown County. They are as true as creative memory will allow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As far as I know, no one else has done such a book as this one giving the history of the whole of Brown County, so I did it myself with the help of Rhonda A. Dunn. I cover most of the happenings in Brown County for more than 220 years up until the present time. To do this I had to make the book into two parts, the older parts are from the 1800s and that section is called simply, THEN. The stories of what is in Brown County since that time but up to today, is simply called, NOW. Then when we added the new history center, we went to three parts for this book to keep it simple to keep the history together for easier handling and reading. Brown County has changed so much in 220 years that it is amazing. But most of what we are today is what we started from actually. I think you will find this to be true if you read the book in its entirety. Most of the early settlers were from the states of the Carolinas, Virginias, Ohio and Kentucky. Many of those people or their offspring are still here today but we are having an influx of what some call “furriners” today. People today come from the cities to visit, decide they like it here as much as we do and buy up a piece of land and build a log home and stay here. It takes all kinds to make a homogenous group. I think we have done our best to accomplish that. So, pull yourself up a chair, grab a cup of coffee or iced tea, and set a spell and read all about us in this first ever fairly complete history of Brown County. Ya’ll come back now, ya hear!!

Book excerpt: Nine years before Abraham Lincoln was elected president, Story came into being. In 1851, Pres. Millard Fillmore granted a land patent to Dr. George Story for the creation of this little town. Tucked into a scenic spot near the Hoosier National Forest, 13 miles southeast of Nashville, Indiana, Story lies deep in the heart of historic Brown County. And Story is just one reason to visit Brown County, also known as "the Art Colony of the Midwest." Amid forests, rolling hills, and winding country roads, charming Nashville is home to more than 120 shops, art galleries, and artists' studios and neighbors two villages quaintly named Gnawbone and Bean Blossom. The beauty of Brown County has always attracted artists and history buffs. Wander back roads across covered bridges that have spanned sparkling streams for more than a century to retrace the paths taken by artists seeking to capture the county's beauty.

Book excerpt: In 1876, Congress issued a joint resolution recommending the preparation of local histories of every town and county for preservation in the Library of Congress. The W. H. Beers & Co. publishing house was a prolific producer of such histories. This volume contains Part III and Part IV of the original five part work. Part III, History of Brown County offers accounts of physical features and pre-historic remains, adventures and conflicts with the Indians, pioneer history, civil organizations, general progress of the county, churches, military history, sketches of distinguished citizens, a list of officers, and much more. Part IV, Township Histories covers the following townships: Pleasant, Union, Lewis, Perry, Huntington, Clark, Franklin, Pike, Eagle, Jefferson, Scott, Green, Jackson, Washington, Sterling, and Byrd. A map of Brown County and a surname index add to the value of this work. From the original 1883 publication, which ran over 1,000 pages, Heritage Books, Inc. has also reprinted Part V, a collection of nearly 1,000 biographical sketches of prominent men in each of the Brown County townships; Parts I and II of the original book, which contain stock histories of the Northwest Territory and the state of Ohio, have not been reprinted.

Book excerpt: In the 1920s, drawn by spectacular vistas and colorful fall foliage, photojournalist Frank Hohenberger (1876-1962) traveled to the hills of Brown County. Once there, he found more to photograph than just a picturesque landscape and he set out to record the lives of the people who lived among the hills. If You Don't Outdie Me is a brilliantly revealing volume about Hohenberger's encounter with the people of Brown County. Rather than a society of amusing and peaceful rustics, Hohenberger discovered that there were "tragedies in the valleys" and rancorous complexities that belied sentimental notions about small town life. Reproduced here are Hohenberger's incomparable photographs, not only the carefully crafted "art prints," but also the casual snapshots that show him to have been one of the pioneers of ethnographic photography. The book includes Hohenberger's previously unpublished diary notes, which record the humor, gossip, legends, oral history, figures of speech, and proverbs of the Brown County folk, as well as his astute and unguarded observations.

Book excerpt: "BROWN COUNTY FOLKS... a mingling of rustics and locals." The 225-page, 7.75"x10.75" softcover book features portraits and interviews of Brown County residents relating stories of their lives in this most unique county, as well as numerous, colorful landscape photos of the counties' famous fall leaves."A mingling of rustics (locals) and artists," as Steve Miller puts it-farmers, artisans, tourists, migrants, retirees, campers, transplants from here and there, shop owners, doctors, lawyers, musicians, entertainers, hermits and recluses, students... every manner of life separated only by the oaks, hickories, poplars, beeches, and white pines populating the hills and dales in which everyone lives. Indebted we are to the likes of Frank Hohenberger, who first photographed and documented the lives of the people of Brown County in the early 1900s. What an extraordinary collection of images he made. Images that if you spend just a few moments with will quietly whisper story after story of the lives of these people. We hope the images in this book may do likewise. Rick Albertson, a retired documentary photographer, covered world-wide assignments for large non-profit organizations. Having lived in several states while growing up, he attended Indiana University in Blooming- ton-the longest he'd ever lived in one place. It was then that his interest in photography blossomed, and he met his wife and they began a family there. The essence of Rick was formed during this time, augment- ed by frequent visits to every corner of Brown County-the one place he thinks of to this day as his Home. Dr. Robert E. Sexton, a resident of Brown County, lives in a two bed- room log cabin on thirty-three acres of beautiful forested rolling hills. Bob is a passionate collector of early Indiana art, specifically from the Brown County Art Colony movement. He has focused on collecting all of the woodblock prints and gouache's featuring Brown County by the world-renowned woodblock printer, Gustave Baumann.
