    Phases of Southeastern Indiana History by MISS VIDA NEWSOM,Columbus

    Phases of Southeastern Indiana History By MISS VIDA NEWSOM,Columbus. (Presented at a meeting of the Jennings County Historical society, August 19, 1922, on occasion of Vernon Homecoming.) It has been interesting to learn something of the accomp- lishments and plans for future usefulness of your county his- torical society. The history of Jennings county, in general, is more or less characteristic of that of other counties in this vicinity and of the entire state. There are, however, several outstanding historical features in this section of Indiana, which were of such considerable significance in the making of our great state, which entered so forcibly into the lives, the early struggles and hardships of our forebears, the pioneers, that they well deserve special mention on this occa- sion. The topic assigned me for discussion, “Phases of South- eastern Indiana History”, affords a wealth of material. So numerous are the aspects of history that have contributed to the development of our great commonweealth in South- eastern Indiana alone, that it: would seem that we of this generation have, indeed, come a long way, and I have realized anew in making this study, and perhaps more forcibly than ever before, how much we owe to future generations if we are to prove worthy of the trust that has been imposed upon us by our ancestors, the Indiana pioneers. But in any retrospective glance of this subject our atten- tion usually reverts, first of all, to the aboriginal inhabitants of this country, to the American Indian. If we are kindly dis- posed and just in this reflection we think of him first in his native state, before he was confronted with the necessity of battling for his home as a result of the coming of the white man who was ever encroaching upon his territory.

The most prominent early line of travel on land in southern Indiana was the Buffalo Trace, also called the "Kentucky Road," "Vincennes Trace," "Clarksville Trace," "Harrison's Road," "Lan-an-zo-ki-mi-wi," etc. It entered Indiana at the Falls of the Ohio, passed in a northwesterly direction and left Indiana at Vincennes. As a line of travel between the same two points, this old trail was as prominent in 1800 and pre- vious thereto as the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is to-day. The buffaloes passed over it in great numbers, and kept it open, in many places twenty feet wide. It was a beaten and well worn path, so prominent and conspicuous that, in 1804, it was used by General Harrison and the Indians to locate a treaty line.^ Forty-three miles of it, from "Clark's Grant" to the east line of the Vincennes Tract, in Orange county, were surveyed by "calls," that is, by courses and distances, by Sur- veyor William Rector, in August,^ 1805.
