Schuyler Colfax Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, South Bend, 1927 — named and not read

What it is: Historic Background of South Bend and St. Joseph County in Northern Indiana, the county volume of the Schuyler Colfax Chapter of the DAR — a chapter named for the man whose political career began, as Part Three's scholarship article shows, with his boyhood years in New Carlisle. The state library holds it (call 977.201 S143d), with a 1974 Bicentennial souvenir edition beside the 1927 original. Chapter histories of this class are commemorative works: strong on the sites and families the chapter marked and remembered, written to honor rather than to audit, and used by this build at exactly that strength — as evidence of what the county's memory institutions chose to preserve in 1927, not as an authority over Chapman and Howard where they treat the same ground. It stands named and not read, and in the pull list.

Principal sources: Indiana State Library, St. Joseph County holdings guide (read first-hand), for the volume and its editions; the volume named and not read.
