Ingersoll Wallace debate sparks Ben Hur origin tale
On a September 1870 rail journey in Indiana two men argued about God. Robert C. Ingersoll attacked belief, while General Lew Wallace later said the exchange inspired him to rewrite his novel into Ben Hur A Tale of the Christ. Wallace, born 1827 in Brookville, aimed to craft a strong defense of Christ. Indiana’s early towns and lines grew with land prices, phones arriving in 1877, and Bell Telephone’s expanding services.
