Abandoned Eastern Indiana: Decaying Under the Snow

This book explores the fate that has befallen parts of Eastern Indiana, exploring architecture and places where human life was present but that no longer remains the case. Through photography of towns, buildings of many kinds such as churches and schools, author Amanda Bennett-Cole recounts what she saw in various eight-hour road trips through Indiana, places that have fallen off the map. She weaves a story of places where people lived, where agriculture thrived, and where things happened—namely the expansion westward, especially the building of the railroads. Readers will encounter the ruins and remains of an era in American history, part of the tale of how settlements expanded in the country.
