Comments: An excellent site! I will make a link to it from the Plum Grove site. Many of the people involved in the anti-slavery movement in S. Indiana and Ohio made their way to Iowa City, including Lyman's brother, Walter Hoyt. It is good to see the Eleutherian College building preserved.

As a 32 year-old African-American, I am proud to learn that not all of Indiana's history with regard to race is negative, as have been many of my experiences (e.g., I was bused to a non-welcoming) Perry Township beginning in 1981). God bless, Larry
