Excerpt from A List of Plants Growing Without Cultivation in Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden Counties, Massachusetts Society and, in addition, we have consulted the herbaria of Mt. Hol yoke and Amherst Colleges, and the Knowlton herbarium of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. The mosses, liverworts, lichens, fungi and Characeae have been purposely omitted from this list. The list of lichens in Prof. Tuckerman's catalogue is one of the most complete and authentic published, but the list of fungi, Characeae, etc., contributed by Mr. Frost is of little value as it stands today, since much progress has been made in the study of these groups since his time.

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.

Reveals how commodity failure, as much as success, can shed light on aspirations, environment, and economic life in colonial societies.
