Marguerite McCord Watt and Kathlyn V. Wade; illustrations by John D. Miller; LaPorte, 1956 — read in part, through a carrier
What it is: the identification this section was charged to make, and the shelf's most important single volume for the town itself: New Carlisle: The Story of Our Town, 1835–1955, written by two of the town's own — Marguerite McCord Watt and Kathlyn V. Wade — illustrated by John D. Miller, and published in 1956 (the National Register nomination's bibliography gives the place as LaPorte). It is the work the town's reference literature cites as its history: the town article's citations run to it (through Historic New Carlisle's site, retrieved May 26, 2015), the district nomination's bibliography lists it, and later writers quote it — the farm-press account of the A. T. Marvel adult farmers' evening school, carried in Edible Michiana in 2015, rests on it through Historic New Carlisle, Inc. The Indiana State Library holds it in the Indiana Reference collection at call 977.201 S143w. This pass read the book in part: a hosted copy (a DocsLib scan carrying the state library's Bison mark) was opened and its opening read — the "Topography" chapter, which grounds the town in the Valparaiso Moraine and the Terre Coupee prairie, on the last shelf of the glacial shore. The reading stands at part-strength and at carrier-strength both, and this section prints it so; the full read, from the state library's copy or the historical society's shop, stands in the pull list as the single most valuable unread item on this ground.
And a citation, resolved: the Olive Township reference literature cites a work titled "History of New Carlisle, Indiana," which a checker could easily take for this book. It is not this book. The township article's fifth reference resolves to a web page of that title — archived from its original on April 15, 2011 and retrieved April 3, 2012 — a page-history of the town that lived on the web and survives in archive. Two works, one shelf position: the 1956 book, held at the state library and sold by the historical society; and the web page, whose authorship the reached record does not name and whose archived text is its settler. The open file carries the page's authorship as a named question; this article carries the distinction, because a build that cites the one for the other has corrupted its own apparatus.
Principal sources: the book's opening chapter, read in part through the DocsLib-hosted copy (carrier named); Indiana State Library, St. Joseph County holdings guide (read first-hand) for the holding and call number; the district nomination bibliography and the town and township reference articles for the citation chain, read first-hand.
