The
histories of Robinson, Palestine, and Oblong, along with
the smaller towns of Crawford County, are
rich and colorful, reaching back to 1680 when a French trading
post was established
near the Wabash River. In these pages, readers will learn
about Crawford County’s Pioneer City and where Abraham
Lincoln stayed when his family came through to purchase land
and will see homes and businesses of the prodigious leaders
of Robinson and their improvements to this rural area. Readers
will experience the oil boom of the early 1900s, the horrible
fate of the Hutson family, the flying Rousch brothers, and
the life of James Jones, author of From Here to Eternity.
