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. His survey was 1 Indiana Historical Society's Publication 4, pp.

He studies state and local government public policy, including such topics as government budget and taxing options, issues of property tax assessment, local government revenue options, and the fiscal impact of economic development.

A decade later, he contributed research to Governor Daniels’ Commission on Local Government Reform (2007) and has studied the effects of the constitutional property tax caps enacted in 2008-2009, including a 2015 report – ‘What Do We Know About Indiana’s Property Tax Caps?’ – for the Indiana Fiscal Policy Institute. DeBoer was the 2009 recipient of Purdue’s Hovde Award for service to the rural people of Indiana.

A PARTY OF PURPOSE – MOVING INDIANA FORWARD 2006 Indiana Republican State Platform Preamble Indiana Republicans recognize and support the strong leadership provided by our elected officials such as: Senator Richard Lugar, Governor Mitch Daniels, and members of our Congressional delegation and the Indiana General Assembly, to move our state forward. Our system of government operates best when its leaders fulfill their promises and make the tough decisions in the best interests of the people. As the party of purpose, Indiana Republicans will continue to offer Hoosiers real ideas to provide new economic opportunities, fiscal responsibility, and improved government service to the people of this state. We will confront our challenges on the field of ideas, and relentlessly pursue the worthy goal of a better Indiana. Governor Mitch Daniels promised to aim high and lead a great Indiana comeback and he is keeping his promise! Strong leadership focused on getting results for Hoosiers by Governor Daniels, Lt. Governor Becky Skillman and Republican majorities in the Indiana House and Senate is making a difference for Indiana. While putting Indiana back on the path of fiscal responsibility, these leaders have still been responsible for increasing funding for education, Medicaid, and child protective services. Republican successes include: Jobs and economic growth: > Created the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) > Made it easier for small businesses to qualify for tax incentives that promote job growth and investment > Modernized Indiana's
