Others call Indiana home but moved away to accomplish great things. Who were these people? A magician that devised astounding illusions still performed by modern magicians. Artists that achieved national and international renown. A man that blasted a tunnel through a hill to bring water to his gristmill. A Civil War private whose discovery of a pack of cigars changed the course of the Civil War. Brave people that were active in the Underground Railroad system. These are just a few of the 25 fascinating people that reside in this book. Read the book to learn their stories.
