It was in that very year (1851) that Robert Bonner bought the New York Ledger and began to make it the congenial home of a sensationalism which, hitherto most nearly anticipated by such a romancer as Joseph Holt Ingraham, reached unsurpassable dimensions with the prolific Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.
From the Ledger no step in advance had to be taken by the inventors of the “dime nove,” which was started upon its long career by the publishing firm of Beadle and Adams of New York in 1860.

 The Word Hoosier
A theory attributed to Gov. Joseph Wright derived Hoosier from an Indian word for corn, "hoosa." Indiana flatboatmen taking corn or maize to New Orleans came to be known as "hoosa men" or Hoosiers.
Why states need legislated nicknames (and flowers, rocks, trees, animals or insects) is a separate question, but Indiana in some fit of blandness adopted "The Crossroads of America" as its "official" sobriquet.
The earliest recorded written use comes from a letter dated February 24, 1826 that James Curtis of Oregon, Holt County, Missouri, sent to his uncle, Joseph Beeler of Indianapolis.

A host of new adjunct books also detracted from the attention the biblical text itself had been given.
He points out, in addition, that biblical fiction, with such books as Joseph Holt Ingraham's "The Prince of the House of David" and Lew Wallace's "Ben Hur," provided further competition for the Bible by providing substitutes for the scriptures that had a suitable religious feel.
In addition to describing the struggles to produce a textually pure scriptures, Gutjahr outlines the battles between Catholics and Protestants over which biblical translations would have primacy in schools and public life, embroilments which seem incredible in our secular times.

It isn’t that Gutjahr intended to write a critique of contemporary American Evangelical subculture, yet his book is in some respects as current as any op-ed piece.
“[B]y the 1850s,” Gutjahr tells us, “writers such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Susan Warner, Maria Cummins, and Joseph Holt Ingraham had successfully adapted the biblical message into the incredibly popular form of the novel.” Of course, it hadn’t been so long since Evangelicals had universally frowned upon novels.
But as the genre grew in popularity, it occurred to some that the Christian message could—and should—be introduced into works of fiction, so as to reach souls.
