Fort Wayne publishing about itself. The Gilded Age in Fort Wayne, 1870–1900 (Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County, 1955). Fort Wayne in Canal Days (Indiana Historical Society). The Wabash–Erie Canal (Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County). Pioneers Resting in Historic Lindenwood (1989) — the cemetery's own biographical guide. The Allen County–Fort Wayne Historical Society's X Marks the Spot (1964) and its Old Fort News canal and sites volume (1957), with J. Michael Keefer's "Poached Yeggs" in Old Fort News vol. 78 no. 1 (2015) behind the crime leg's Broadway robbery account. Robert Adams, The Allen County War Memorial Coliseum (1953), for the building's first account of itself. John Girardin, Richard Helmer and George Mattix, Dillinger: The Untold Story (2004) — used at page 280, and used skeptically: what the crime leg prints about the Dillinger gang's Fort Wayne connections is what survives checking against the dated record, and the legend that Dillinger hid out in Fort Wayne is printed as a legend, in the folklore record, not as a stay.

Fed:

  1. The Story of Fort Wayne section, sports, crime, business and folklore legs.
