What the Guinness Book has done for the records of the world, this book does for Indiana, whose resourceful natives and residents have blazed a bright trail of accomplishments in nearly every field. Hoosiers have headed the pack in the pioneer world, in the introduction of the automotive age, and later in the creation of the air age, and even today in the space age. A major section of the book is devoted to sports records of all varieties. Records have been set in all manner of competition from corn picking to catapults.
