Thumb-Nail Sketches Of Harrison County Citizens
Personal recollections of Edward Murr recount rural life forty five to fifty years ago in Harrison County. Oxen hauling wagons, long linen dusters, broad hats, and beards recall church, Sunday school, and revival culture. Teachers lacked college training, normal schools shaped careers, and Lebanon Normal College stood out for Murr. He describes local political work at a National Political Convention and Fisher’s presidential candidacy boosted by local leaders.
