HISTORY or HOWARD COUNTY INDIANA BY JACK50N MORROW, B. A. ILLUSTRATED VOL. I \\ K. BOWIZN & COMIVXMN' INDIAMAPOLI5, INDIANA AHenCoonly Public Ubrory " R. Wayne/ — 1408938 AUTHOR'S PREFACE Soon after beg-inning the editing of tlie History of Howard County, at the request of B. F. Bowen & Company, two facts became Very prominent. The first was that the undertaking was greater than at first appeared and the other was that there are now very, \-ery few of tlie pioneers remaining to rehearse the beginnings of Howard County history. It is largel}' now the verifying and arranging such historical matter as has lieretofore been published, supplemented by matters alreadv known by the writer, and others, gathered from old newspapers and the few surx-ivors of a far away time. In preparing this work it has seemed very unfair and short sighted to assume that all this magnificent country should have re- mained idle and unused by man for thousands of )-ears until seventy years ago. for the coming of the white man, and so I have devoted a chapter to the Mound Builders and another to their successors the Indians. Since the coming of the white man I ha\'e tried to describe conditions as tliey were in the beginning and the many changes he has wrought along the various lines of life. This work has been largely along general lines. The limits of this work have precluded the going into the purely local and individ- ual. There ha\-e been certain individual schools of more than pass- ing inip(^rtance. as the Old Normal and some out township schools, of which it would have been a real pleasure to have written. Beau- tiful Crown Point Cemeterv is another instance and the Old Ceme- tery, where lie the unmarked graves of many of the early pioneers of Kokonio and vicinity whose memory should especially be cher- ished as the real founders of our goodly heritage ; and too, our de- lightful City Park. I have consulted and drawn freely from the Kingman County Atlas of 1876 and the History of Howard and Tipton County of 1S83. Mr. Otis C. Pollard has rendered much valuable assistance; the chapters prepared by him are accredited to him. Isir. INIilton Garrigus has prepared a very valuable history of early financial con- ditions, a compact statement of facts difficult to find, especially interesting in our pioneer history as the Blue Dog and White Dog and the Wild Cat currencies. Posterity is under a real debt to Mr. Garrigus for this chapter. J.-vcKSON Morrow. INDEX Able Jurist 380 Armstrong-Landon Company.

    Lessons, Answer Keys, Student Scoring Sheets, and a Survey of the Scientifically- Based Reading Research That Is Foundational to ITRI

    Grade 4 Teacher Guide Developed by the Center for Innovation in Assessment in conjunction with the Indiana Department of Education What’s In This Booklet The Informational Text Reading Inventory (ITRI) was created when the Center for Innovation in Assessment (CIA) observed that students in grade four experience a significant drop in performance in all of their subject areas. CIA researched solutions and identified the critical issue as the students' struggle to apply the reading skills they have learned in earlier grades to their expository textbooks. In grade four, students are expected to read to learn at a far greater extent than in earlier grades. ITRI materials teach students the reading skills they need to understand their content area textbooks. This booklet contains all the information teachers need to use the ITRI materials, including assessments, lessons, answer keys, student scoring sheets, and a survey of the scientifically- based reading research that is foundational to ITRI. Because all ITRI content comes from Indiana's Academic Standards for grade four science, social studies, and English/language arts (E/LA), ITRI materials will enhance the subject matter teachers already teach. Students will always learn the reading skills within the context of their content area curriculum. For a detailed list of all items, please go to the Table of Contents on page iii.

The plan accomplishes this task by: a. focusing interpretive efforts on a site-specifi c theme b. identifying needs for guided and self-guided interpretation, and c. recommending actions to fi ll those needs. The process of developing interpretive recommendations considers three components: a. Resource. What are the natural and cultural resources of the site.? b. Visitor. Who are the current users? What are the untapped audiences? c. Agency. What is the mission of the agency? What are the management goals within the agency? Other regional interpretive experiences and partnerships are incorporated to stretch staff and fi nances, foster cooperation and prevent competition. Several factors make the plan important for Indiana Dunes State Park: • In 2016, Indiana State Parks will be celebrating its 100th birthday. • The Indiana Dunes Nature Center opened int 1990. Most of the exhibits have been unchanged and are showing their age. • Indiana Dunes is unique from other parks. Recommendations need to refl ect: 1. Most of the park’s visitors are day use only.

The city of Indianapolis was founded in 1821 as the state capital, when the Indiana State Legisla- ture sought a central location for the city and appointed a committee to choose the site. Once the site was chosen surveyors Alexander Ralston and Elias Fordham were hired to lay out the city, which was proposed as a grid of north-south and east-west streets in a mile square plat. This plat was influenced by the Pierre L’Enfant plan for Washington, D.C., which in turn was in- spired by the royal residence of Versailles. Since Indianapolis was planned as a state capital, the plat sited the State House Square and the Court House Square equidistant from Circle Street (now Monument Circle), located in the center of the Mile Square. The Governor’s house was to be situ- ated in the circular lot framed by Circle Street, and the four city blocks framing the Circle were known as the “Governor’s Square.” Four diagonal streets radiated out from the far corners of the four blocks framing the circle. All streets of the Mile Square were 90 feet wide with the exception of Washington Street, which was 120 feet wide to accommodate its intended use as the capital’s main street. The sale of lots in the new capital city on October 8, 1821 reveal the street’s importance, as lots fronting it com- manded the highest prices.
  • Fraud, 1861-1862

    Fraud, 1861-1862

    The Indiana “Bonds” Fraud, 1861-1862 Ray Shortridge” In the last week of May 1862, Indiana newspapers broke the Indiana state “Bonds Fraud” story to shocked Hoosiers. The newspapers had one part of it wrong-the financial securities in question were Indiana 5 percent stock, not bonds. However, the press was right about the fraud: two miscreants, using as collateral some $2,538,000 in fraudulent securities,had parlayed them into a fortune in the New York Stock Exchange worth an estimated $20 million (the equivalent of roughly $360 million in today’s dollars). Since the New York financial markets were essential to Indiana’s mobilization for the Civil War and since the leaders of the state’s political parties fought one another fiercely in the newspapers during the war, from late May to late June 1862 only the news from the combat fronts garnered more ink than the financial scandal. Although the fraud had been carried out in the course of the preceding year and a half, newspaper editors and the public treated the scandal as a one-month wonder. After June 25,1862, when a New York grand jury indicted former Indiana state agent, Daniel C. Stover, from Ladoga, Indiana, and a Wall Street financier, Samuel Hallett, for forgery in the third degree, the matter vanished from public view. These events are interesting for several reasons. For one, they remind us that persons with access to wealth and power have threatened the stability of the economy in the past, as corporate malfeasance at Enron and accounting firms has done recently.

    INDIANA MAGAZ INE OF HISTORY VOLUMELVII SEPTEMEER1961 NUMBER3 The Impact of the Civil War on Indiana John D. Barnhart* The Civil War was the greatest challenge Indiana's democratic government had met. The war affected all of the citizens of the state, penetrated their vital social relations, and threatened their necessary and cherished organizations. The way the people met that challenge constitutes much of the history of the war years in Indiana. That all patriots yield obedience to the voice of the people when expressed in a constitutional manner and that all citizens unite in preserving the Union and the Constitution was the message of Abraham Lincoln to the people of Indiana as he journeyed from Springfield, Illinois, to Washington, D.C., for his inauguration as president of the United States. The next day, February 12, 1861, his fifty-second birthday, he was escorted to the railway station where he entrained for Cincinnati. Lincoln's Indianapolis appearance and speech were the subject of favorable comment by the Republican Daily Journal, but the Democratic Daily Sentinel declared him to be a theorist, a dreamer, and an impractical man who lacked the will and purpose to be a leader.' The attack upon Fort Sumter, April 12, 1561, stunned the people of Indiana and its sister states.2 When the news * The Indiana Civil War Centennial Commission requested publica- tion of the author's two chapters on the Civil War originally included in John D. Barnhart and Donald F. Carmony, Indiana: From F,rontier to Industrial Commonwealth (4 vols., New York, 1954). In preparing the chapters for this purpose they were combined into one, and some revision in style was attempted.

Work began at Fort Wayne in 1832 and by 1835 was completed to Largo, Indiana. The original plan was to go as far as Lafayette and then terminate. In 1836 pressure from area businessmen, including Calvin Fletcher, led to the passing of the Mammoth Internal Improvements Act, this extended the Wabash and Erie Canal to Terre Haute. Construction reached Logansport in 1838, Lafayette in 1841, and Terre Haute in 1849. Segments also extended eastward towards Ohio, and the canal opened in Toledo in 1843. The final steps connected the Terre Haute section with the twenty-mile stretch of canal leading from Evansville (the Evansville section had been completed by 1839). This connection to Evansville was completed by 1853 by way of the abandoned Crosscut canal works and the old proposed Central Canal Route.

    Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville

    CHIEF JEAN BAPTISTE RICHARDVILLE By Craig Leonard «««««««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville was the civil chief of the Miami Indians from 1816 until his death in 1841. He was born at the Miami village of Kekionga (Fort Wayne) about 1761 and was known by his Miami name, Peshewa ("the lynx," "the wildcat"), and later by the Anglicized version of his name, John B. Richardville. Richardville's father was Joseph Druet de Richardville, a French-Canadian trader of noble ancestry whose family members, the Drouets, were among the most prominent nobility, officers, and traders in New France. Tacumwah (Maria Louisa Richardville), Richardville's mother, was the sister of Pacanne, the chief of the village at Kekionga. Joseph apparently remained at Kekionga from about 1750 to 1770; he then returned to Three Rivers, Canada, where his son later joined him for a few years to receive a formal education. Drouet and Tacumwah are known to have had three other children, but little is known of them or where they spent their lives. Tacumwah, who had the status of a female chieftain among the Miami, later married another French trader, Charles Beaubien. Several factors destined Richardville for prominence. The Miami tribe had at least five major divisions, of which the foremost were the Atchatchakangouen, or Crane People. The head chief of this group was deferred to by the heads of the other divisions as the entire tribe's civil chief. The Atchatchakangouen head chief was Pacanne, the leader at Kekionga. Among the Miami, war chiefs were chosen for their prowess in battle, but succession to civil chieftain was hereditary.

Twelve Branches were located around the state, including Indianapolis, to provide currency and short-term commercial and agricultural loans. The charter for the Second State Bank expired in1857 and many of the same investors sought a charter for the third state bank, The Bank of the State of Indiana, which also had a branch in Indianapolis. In 1865, the investors of the Indianapolis branch secured a national charter under the National Bank Act of 1865; the new bank was The Indiana National Bank of Indianapolis.

MS. in Archives Coloniales, Paris; pressmark, “Amérique, serie B, Canada, vol. 76, fol. 100.”] 1 From 1723–49, the minister of the marine (which included the bureau of the colonies), was Jean Freédeéric Phelypeaux, Comte de Maurepas.— Ed. Versailles , May 31, 1743. Monsieur —The report you made me in 1741 respecting what had passed between the Scioux and Renard Savages2 having led me to suspect that both would seek to join together, I wrote you in my despatch of April 20th of last year to neglect nothing to prevent so dangerous a union. Such suspicions are only too fully justified. In fact I see by a letter from Monsieur de Bienville,3 dated February 4th last, that the Sieur de Bertet, major commanding at Illinois4 has informed him that the voyageurs who had arrived from Canada the previous autumn had reported to him that the Scioux, not content with having broken the peace they themselves had gone to ask of you, had also induced the Renards to join them in a fresh attempt against the French, and that the Sakis not wishing to take part in this league had wholly separated themselves from the other tribes. 1 2 See Wis.
