_Biography of a Town_ by Marian McFadden is an excellent read.

I am wondering if there is any literature, novels, biographies,
diaries, articles, that would describe the living conditions that existed in Shelby
county during this period? Types of homes, farming conditions, community activities? Both
sides of my mother's family, Walker & Brown were living in Shelby County during
this period.
My 3rd great grandfather Francis C. Walker, had the first house erected in Shelbyville,
c. 1823, it was on the northwest corner of Washington & Tompkins Streets. I am
wondering what type of house it was, if there are any description or pictures of it. It
appears by 1830 he had relocated to Hanover Twp. and in 1840 to Addison Twp. I know when I
lived in Ithaca, NY I lived a block away from the first frame house constructed in Ithaca,
it was still standing in 1960. Perhaps this "house" was still around in
someone's memory.
