The latest IHS Lanham Gallery exhibit explores 12 Indiana authors who wrote about such themes as westward expansion and travel, women’s rights, social reform, historical writing, children’s literature and war experiences. Inevitably, the Hoosier authors displayed in the exhibit were influenced by Indiana’s culture, nature, politics and society, but their writings also shaped local and national literature. A few highlighted authors include Ernie Pyle, Mary Ritter Beard and Etheridge Knight.
