I also recommend the book "A Home in the Woods, Pioneer Life in Indiana" by Oliver and Howard Johnson. It actually takes place in Marion County but gives a great account of what life was like in the early 1820s-1830s. Oliver Johnson was born in 1821 and the story is told by his grandson Howard.
It is published by the Indiana University Press, c 1991.
