    INDIANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESS :: harrison papers, 1800-1815  
 
"The Harrison Papers provide valuable primary materials for any investigation of the history of the Old Northwest. Scholars interested in land policy, the formation of territorial and state governments, and the development of political parties during this period will welcome the publication of these documents. The papers are particularly rich in their references to Indian Affairs and provide critical insights into the failure of federal attempts to integrate Native Americans into American society. The papers also contain invaluable documents focusing upon the emergence and careers of the Shawnee Prophet and Tecumseh."
-- Professor R. David Edmunds, Indiana University

William Henry Harrison


"Enthusiastic congratualtions to Douglas Clanin and his staff of accomplished researchers and editors and to the Indiana Historical Society . . . who managed and financed this major task. Careful and meticulous transcription and proofreading have provided authoritative texts and highly useful explanatory footnotes and perceptive evaluations."
--Professor Emeritus Robert Gunderson


"The painstaking care that you have taken to provide the reader with authentic, reliable texts . . . is most impressive . . . your texts supersede all preceding texts."
--Dr. Gaspare J. Saladino

The ten-reel set of transcripts of The Papers of William Henry Harrison, 1800-1815, are available for sale from the IHS. This edition, under the principal editorship of IHS editor Douglas E. Clanin, supersedes the two-volume set edited by Logan Esarey and published by the Indiana Historical Commission in 1922. Over the course of more than a decade, approximately 3,600 Harrison documents were collected and transcribed for the new edition -- five times the number of documents in the old edition.

The Harrison microfilm edition, which includes a printed guide, is available from the Society for $300. Also, the guide may be purchased separately for $20 and the individual reels are priced at $35 each. Postage and handling charges for these individual items are $3 for the first order and $1 for each additional purchase. You may purchase these items at the History Market.
