wilderness of Indiana. Shortly
there followed Jesuit missicnar-
les from Quebec and in their
trail came adventurous rangers
and fur traders. French forts
and trading posts were soon es-
tablished. In 1853 the British
took possession of this territory .
after the French and Indian
wars, and remained in posses
sion until the Revolution.
One of the boldest campaigns
of the Revolution was that OF
Clark's little army, whose indom-
liable courage and audacity final

riSon at Vincennes and won the
Northwest territory for Virginia.
Pioneers from the East and from
Kentucky made their way into

family. 1t was in 1915, the year
that Indiana became the nine

tanned citizenship in Indiana.
With the increase In population
by 1900 Indiana Territory was
formed, extending from the Ohio
border west to the Mississippi
and north to Canada. Vincennes
was selected as the first capital.
In 1904, when the Louisiana Pur-
chase was made, the government
of Louisiana a placed in the
hands of the Indiana Territory
officials, so that for n year the
capital of Louisiana was also
at Vincennes in Indiana.
Although nicknamed the Hoo

southern slang for rough back
woodsmen, Indiana, with its 49,
254 square miles, its fifteen Pres
idential electors, and containing
as 1t does the center Of popula-
ton, is considered of utmost i'm.
