The modern standard work — with our use of it stated plainly. John D. Beatty and Phyllis Robb, editors, History of Fort Wayne & Allen County, Indiana, 1700–2005. Evansville: M. T. Publishing Company, 2006. Two volumes, published with the Allen County–Fort Wayne Historical Society and the Allen County Genealogical Society of Indiana. The ACPL hosts a searchable name index to it; the History Center sells the set ($124.95 at the time of this research).
Honesty about our copy: no one on this project has opened this set page by page. What we know of its contents rests on the Library of Congress cataloguing record, the Indiana State Library and university guides, and the scholarly citations of it — enough to know it is the standard modern history and that our record must be measured against it, not enough to quote it. A purchase decision rests with this project's funder; until a copy is in hand, nothing in this record is cited to it, and the comparison of the two works remains an open task named in our notes.
Fed:
- The comparison audit (as the benchmark), deliberately not the text.
