Calvin Fletcher, born in Vermont in 1798, came to Indiana from Ohio in 1821, and in the next forty-five years made a fortune, raised eleven children, and was a pillar of the community. This pioneer Indianapolis lawyer, banker, and philanthropist kept a diary for most of his long life, and in it he recorded both the growth of his family and his community. Whether complaining, criticizing, observing shrewdly, or agonizing, Fletcher emerges as both a complex and unforgettable human being. Each of the set's nine volumes has a preface, chronology, and index. Volume nine includes a cumulative index.

This is a book about Methodists in Indiana between 1880 and 1930, searching for the larger transformation of American culture, particularly the development of a new nexus of institutions that would become known as the social mainstream. Corn shows how forces of upward social mobility, evangelistic religion, and optimism for progress converged in these Midwestern Methodists with darker forces such as racism, nativism, and a grim commitment to the use of legal coercion.
