{"product_id":"wayne-county-indiana-carolyn-lafever-9781540234872","title":"Wayne County, Indiana: The Battles for the Courthouse","description":"The residents of Wayne County, Indiana, have battled about the county seat location since its formation in 1810. There have been three county seats and six courthouses. The disagreement-started between settlers from Salisbury and Centerville-was bitterly debated in the Indiana Territory legislature. Although Salisbury was the first county seat, it was moved to Centerville soon after Indiana's ratification as a state, and Salisbury faded into a lost town. For fifty-two years, Centerville maintained power, building two courthouses and a jail, until Richmond asserted its dominance in the state legislature. The struggle for the reins of power in Wayne County was Indiana's longest-running feud, igniting untold amounts of community pride. Join Wayne County historian Carolyn Lafever as she shares this story of conflict and courthouses, from tumultuous beginning to peaceful end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Lafever\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540234878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540234872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Carolyn Lafever","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44598560030975,"sku":"9781540234872","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cab60d74-6e0b-4b1a-b4e7-8a6389af17b7.jpg?v=1702383186","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wayne-county-indiana-carolyn-lafever-9781540234872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
