This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts, like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”.

Baynard Hall was born on January 28, 1798, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. His parents were Dr. John Hall, a surgeon on the staff of General Washington, and Elizabeth Ann Baynard. He was left an orphan at the age of three.
By means of a small legacy from a maternal uncle, and by his own toil as a printer, young Hall obtained a liberal education. He graduated from Union College in 1820 and from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1823.
In 1823 Baynard Hall turned to the west from Philadelphia to join his wife’s mother and brother, who were living on the edge of the “New Purchase, ” a tract of land south and east of the Wabash River obtained by treaty with the Indians in 1818. In 1820 the Indiana legislature created a state seminary, situated at Bloomington. This was opened to students in May 1824, and Hall became its first principal at a salary of $250 a year. When this seminary received a college charter in 1828 Hall was elected professor of ancient languages, which position he held until 1831.
Hall had been ordained as a Presbyterian minister by the Salem Presbytery in Indiana in 1825. Together with two fellow ministers, George Rush and Isaac Reed, Hall helped to organize, in Reed’s cabin, the Wabash Presbytery. It was largely through Reed’s influence that Hall came to Indiana, with a view to his being “on the ground” when the new seminary should open. Hall preached for the Bloomington Presbyterian church from 1826 to 1830, and in October 1826 at Vincennes he helped to organize the Synod of Indiana.
Hall’s pioneer experiences gave him the subject of his book, The New Purchase; or, Seven and a Half Years in the Far West. It was published under his pen name, Robert Carlton, in 1843, was republished in 1855, and in 1916 the Indiana centennial edition was brought out by the Princeton University Press. The work pictures varied aspects of frontier life, the roads, the modes of travel, the cabin homes and inns; the settler’s games, weddings, and “shivarees”; the barbecues, rifle matches, log-rollings, stump speeches, the college exhibitions, and the court trials of the time.
After Dr. Andrew Wylie came to Indiana as the first president of the college in 1828, some college quarrels arose, and Hall found it necessary to leave. From Indiana he went to Bedford, Pennsylvania, where he opened an academy in which he taught for seven years, also preaching in the Presbyterian Church. In 1838 he moved to Bordentown, New Jersey, later to Trenton, New Jersey, and then to Poughkeepsie and Newburgh, New York, in which places he preached and taught school. In 1852 he became principal of Park Institute and pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church at Brooklyn, New York, where after some ten years of service, he died.
Baynard Hall served as the first faculty member of what today is Indiana University. He is also the author of numerous books, most famous of which include: Latin Grammar (1828); Something for Everybody (1846); Teaching a Science; the Teacher an Artist (1848); and Frank Freeman’s Barber Shop: A Tale (1852).

In 1821 Baynard Rush Hall was married in Danville, Kentucky, to a Miss Young, to whom he had been engaged since he was sixteen and whose family had moved from Philadelphia to Kentucky on account of financial losses.
