Delphi is nestled in the picturesque valley formed by the Wabash River and Deer Creek. Named for the Grecian city with its famed oracle; Delphi was envisioned by early residents as a center of culture for the surrounding area. Three courthouses have graced the central square in Delphi--the "seat of justice" in Carroll County since platted in 1828 by Gen. Samuel Milroy. When the Wabash and Erie Canal cut through the area in the 1840s; Delphi became a center for industry and commerce. Handsome three-story brick buildings appeared in the 1850s and surrounded the square by the 1880s. Area residents traveled to Delphi for trade; business; and entertainment. Delphis opera houses drew traveling acts from Chicago; Indianapolis; Cincinnati; and other cultural centers. Visitors today enjoy the architectural gems downtown and in nearby residential districts plus six parks with miles of groomed hiking and biking trails. The canal era is alive in Delphi at the Wabash and Erie Canal Interpretive Center where a replica boat takes visitors on a restored section of the historic waterway.

Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. How the Images of Nazis in movies changed.By Michael SamerdykeThis book begins with an interesting premise: How have Nazis been portrayed in film in different era? Hake looks at Hollywood during WWII. West German film in the Fifties. East German film in the Sixties. Italian film in the Seventies and so on.The result is a rather uneven book. Some chapters. such as the one on the Fifties. are excellent. (Perhaps this is because these chapters cover films that are rather unfamiliar to English speaking readers.) Some chapters are only okay.The biggest drawback to the book is the lack of an overall conclusion that pulls the ideas in the different chapters together. Instead. we have Hakes mostly negative response to "Downfall" and then the book is over. It is rather an anti-climax.
