This directory of Dearborn County was compiled from all the appropriate parts of the Indiana Annual Register, and Pocket Manual, for the Year 1845. All of Indiana's counties were represented and a substantial amount of information was published about each, although the information for each county is spread throughout several different sections of the book. But regardless of form, it is a true county directory once assembled.
