There are old plat maps of each township with many pioneer stories about how the towns were formed and the men that did it. In each chapter is an original poem about each township. The land mass is described i.e. hilly, farmland, flat, etc., with the names and dates of each pioneer family and how they came to settle in Delaware Co, IN.
