ABOUT THIS: Traveling Through Tippecanoe: A Pictorial History Hardcover – January 1, 1992 by Paula Woods & Fern Martin (Author). Good historians, amateur and professional, are imaginative, fired-up storytellers. They carry the fire from the past, not the ashes:" * In the pages of this book burn the fires of Tippecanoe County's past, with little embers of anecdotes glowing among the flames of the major events in our history. This sequel to Greater Lafayette: A Pictorial History continues the journey into our past by moving out into the four corners of Tippecanoe County. Our history was greatly influenced by the cultures that preceded ours, the American Indian of the Ouabache (Wabash) Country and the French traders who came here for furs. After the Indians were driven west by Caucasian immigration, the fertile river valleys were quickly settled. Riverboatman and trader William Digby, who believed that a city's future depended upon its access to water, founded the city of Lafayette in 1825. When rivers and canals were replaced by rails and roadways, Lafayette secured the new wheels of transportation, and continued to serve as the commercial hub for the farms and factories in Tippecanoe County. By the middle of *le 19th century, a permanent visual record of our county was being made through the magic of the camera. The photographs in this collection afford a glimpse at everyday life, as well as a chronicle of major events. They introduce us to such pioneers as Peter Weaver, who carved a home out of the wilderness, and Moses Fowler and Henry Ellsworth, whose wisdom and ambitions helped shape Tippecanoe County. We note the firmness of the profile of Patience Budell Sleeper, the first minister of the Quakers in Union Township,
