Timothy Edward Howard, A History of St. Joseph County, Indiana, 2 vols., Lewis Publishing, 1907 — read first-hand, and corrected in four places
What it is: the second county history, a generation on, and for Walkerton the fuller of the two set accounts. The passes read the towns entry (pp. 316–317) and the Lincoln Township chapter (pp. 290–291) whole; the land-titles discussion (pp. 154–155), from which the Land leg takes the township's entry framework; and — a use easy to miss — Howard's reprint of A. M. Campbell's 1882 survey report of the Kankakee country (pp. 245–252), with the 1915 Kankakee drainage map opposite page 228, which together carry the wet-prairie ground the town stands at the edge of. Howard is sober where Chapman is brief: his settler narrative, his church and school frames, and his business notices are the second witness the nineteenth-century legs check the first against.
Where he fails, named because the build had to correct him: his treaty date is wrong — "September 28, 1828" for an instrument of September 20 (7 Stat. 317) — and the error matters because sister legs repeated it (it rides with this build's cross-leg correction file, AF-O5-1). His incorporation telling conflicts with itself across his own pages (the 1900 "reincorporation" that his own narrative does not sustain). His railroad naming carries an error ("Chicago, Illinois & Southern" for the line the Transportation leg follows under its true corporate names). And his opening topography chapter was not reached in the digitized copy available to the passes — the copy's leaves are scrambled at that point — so Chapter I stands in this build as a named unread: cited for nothing, listed in the pull list below. A source's failures, printed at the places they bite, are part of its description; Howard remains, with those four corrections carried, a strong second witness.
Principal sources: Howard (1907), as above, read first-hand; the treaty text itself (7 Stat. 317) for the date correction; the Story of Walkerton section, Land and Transportation legs for the corrections as printed.
