  • The Indiana State Trails · Greenways & Bikeways Plan
    THE INDIANA STATE TRAILS · GREENWAYS & BIKEWAYS PLAN STATE OF INDIANA Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Governor State House, Second Floor Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 Dear Trail Enthusiasts: With great excitement, I welcome you to travel the path down our state’s latest comprehensive trails plan. Not since our state park system was created has the state undertaken an outdoor initiative of this potential scope. This initiative will soon begin uniting our state’s disconnected routes and place every Hoosier within 15 minutes of a trail. The whole will be much greater than the sum of its parts and will benefit Hoosiers from all walks of life. We doubled state funding from $10 million to $20 million annually to take advan- tage of this unique network of opportunities, and at first glance this is a recreation initiative, but we intend it to be much more. Our trails plan will encourage healthy habits in Hoosiers, boost tourism and enhance Indiana’s ability to attract new investment and jobs. Our trail investments can deliver. As Hoosiers enjoy our new trails, they will be hiking, walking, and rid- ing over miles of new high-speed telecommunications and utility conduits. Access to outdoor recreation also ranks among the features potential companies seek for their employees when locating a business. Real success will require the help of local communities, businesses, and private philanthropies. Let’s join together as we create something that will be the envy of the nation! Sincerely, Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. HOOSIERS ON THE MOVE THE

  • South Dakota History
    VOL. 41, NO. 1 SPRING 2011 South Dakota History 1 Index to South Dakota History, Volumes 1–40 (1970–2010) COMPILED BY RODGER HARTLEY Copyright 2011 by the South Dakota State Historical Society, Pierre, S.Dak. 57501-2217 ISSN 0361-8676 USER’S GUIDE Over the past forty years, each volume (four issues) of South Dakota History has carried its own index. From 1970 to 1994, these indexes were printed separately upon comple- tion of the last issue for the year. If not bound with the volume, as in a library set, they were easily misplaced or lost. As the journal approached its twenty-fifth year of publica- tion, the editors decided to integrate future indexes into the back of every final issue for the volume, a practice that began with Volume 26. To mark the milestone anniversary in 1995, they combined the indexes produced up until that time to create a twenty-five-year cumulative index. As the journal’s fortieth anniversary year of 2010 approached, the need for another compilation became clear. The index presented here integrates the past fifteen volume indexes into the earlier twenty-five-year cumulative index. While indexers’ styles and skills have varied over the years, every effort has been made to create a product that is as complete and consistent as possible. Throughout the index, volume numbers appear in bold-face type, while page numbers are in book-face. Within the larger entries, references to brief or isolated pas- sages are listed at the beginning, while more extensive references are grouped under the subheadings that follow.
