Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Regulators of Northern Indiana
Northern indiana, from its early settlement, has been noted for being the resort of the most numerous gang of blacklegs of almost any State in the Union; and as a rendez vous for all villains in villainy no country has stood more cons The name of some of our northern counties, and cially that of Noble, has resounded from Maine to Oregon, and from Canada to Florida. Every man, who has traveled through the Western States, has been startled at the rehearsal of the deeds of crime and infamy committed in Noble county, under the supervision of a well organized, well disciplined band of counterfeiters and horse thieves. Indeed, the county of Noble had become so notorious, for being the citadel of all villainy, that honest men traveling from here to other sections of country were ashamed to own from whence they came. Immediately after the sale of the public lands north of Fort Wayne, which took place about the year 1835 or 1836, a number of these men, (whose names will be more fully brought to view in the doings of the Regulators, planted them selves upon the virgin soil of this country, effected an organi zation, and commenced their depredations. Their operations seem to have been carried on under obligations of perfect secrecy, and with a display of wisdom that would, in many instances, reflect honor upon a nobler cause. Most of them were emigrants from the State of Ohio, and probably received their first lessons of instruction from the notorious Jim Brown, one of the most successful counterfeiters ever known in the State.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous history of Northern Indiana in the mid-19th century, a region plagued by rampant crime and lawlessness. The author meticulously chronicles the rise of organized gangs of counterfeiters, horse thieves, and other criminals who preyed on unsuspecting settlers. Their influence extended beyond simple theft, as they corrupted the morals of the community, leading to widespread debauchery and prostitution. The book details how these criminal elements exploited the relative lawlessness of a newly settled region, using secrecy and intimidation to control local politics and evade justice. The author highlights the social and moral decay that resulted from these criminal activities, vividly portraying the struggles of honest citizens who faced seemingly insurmountable challenges in reclaiming their community. The book sheds light on the desperate measures taken by these citizens, culminating in the formation of vigilante groups known as Regulators, who sought to restore order and bring justice to the criminals who had terrorized their region for years. This book offers a unique glimpse into a forgotten chapter of American history, showcasing the complex dynamics of frontier justice and the fight against organized crime in a time when law enforcement was often ineffective.
