Description
Famous historic quotes fill the book, including some not previously known as coming from the Hoosier State. Although he served two terms as vice president under Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Marshallis still known today for his offhand comment during a long-winded U.S. Senate deabte on the needs of America: “What this country really needs is a good five-cent cigar.” It was John B.L. Soule, editor of the Terre Haute Express, who produced in an editorial the famous advice of “Go West, young man and grow up with the country.” Unfortunately for Soule, noted New York Editor Horace Greely mistakenly gets credit for this stage advice. When you add the Hoosiers who may be little known outside the state, but who have shown glibness within Indiana, there are plenty of words of wit and worthiness.
