Description

From a patch of land in southern Indiana has come the stone for the various country’s such a lot famous buildings, including the Washington Cathedral, the Pentagon, the Empire State Building, and Chicago’s Tribune Tower. In case you live anywhere inside the lower forty-eight states you almost certainly live within walking distance of library, bank, monument, church, house or skyscraper built with Indiana limestone. In Limestone Country is the tale of the stone, from its geologic origins through its mining history to the current. Sanders records the folklore, the craft, the distinct culture that has grown up around Indiana limestone. Above all we hear the voices of individuals who have worked all their lives within the quarries and mills: “I oughn’t be telling you all this” says a former cutter, “but its only the reality.”
