Periodicals and shelf scholarship: the IMH stock and the monographs

The build's deepest carriers are a journal and a shelf of monographs; both stand entered here with their yields. The Indiana Magazine of History (Indiana University, since 1905) — the journal class's head: its yields in this build include the removal-era primary stock in scholarly dress (the Benjamin Petit letters and the William Polke journal, printed in volume XXI, 1925), the McKee portage papers, the Trail of Death letters in edited form, and — the settlement's scholarly carrier — Sister Mary Bernard Karst's article on Edward G. Huggart, the Black pioneer whose settlement is this township's second founding. The Indiana Historical Society's Publications — the Trail of Death volume (Publications 14, No. 1, 1941), the scholarly form of the removal narrative the tribes file works from. The shelf scholarship — Levi Baker's The St. Joseph-Kankakee Portage (Northern Indiana Historical Society, 1899), read whole for the first passage's dates; James A. Clifton's The Pokagans, 1683–1983 (1984), the band's scholarly history (the Silver Creek purchase, the removal halted); Gregory Dowd's work, cited in the river telling; Monks and Esarey's Courts and Lawyers of Indiana (1916), the denominated reference behind this section's first-courts article; and the geological scholarship the before-the-city file used — the 2024 stratigraphic framework of the Indiana Geological and Water Survey and the Kankakee Torrent literature — entered here as the class's modern end. The discipline prints with the shelf: scholarship is graded by its footnotes, and every yield above is carried at the strength its owning article gave it.

Principal sources: the carriers named as read or cited in this build; Baker (1899), read first-hand from the Internet Archive copy, November 2026; the banked Native Nations, Before Lakeville, and Black History for the yields' owning articles.
