One Township's Yesterdays Preface  

This history of Union Township, Marshall County, Indiana, was started by Mr. Corwin as a Government project, but before he had completed the prodigous [prodigious] task the Government's support was withdrawn. Rather than drop the history with its valuable data, much of which had never been unearthed before, Mr. Corwin continued the work to its completion without compensation.

The history was first printed in The Culver Citizen in installment form, but to make the work more accessible for future reference and to put it in a more permanent form, Mr. Corwin's writings are being published in supplement form.

To Mr. Corwin the community is indebted for this textbook of local history, which will grow in value as the years pass. It is probably one of the few of its kind in the entire country, and Union Township may well be proud of the compilation.

M. R. ROBINSON Editor, The Culver Citizen.
