Many calls she receives are from Hispanics who are working in catecheti- cal ministries at their parishes. Sister Doris said the workshops are well attended by the Hispanic community, but many people don’t realize the “great sacrifice” that Hispanics have to make to attend special programs. That’s because they often work two jobs and must miss work to attend the weekend workshops. The Hispanic population continues to grow in the U.S. While the U.S. Census reported there were 35 million Hispanics in the nation, the estimate is closer to 40 million, said Ronaldo Cruz, the executive director for the secretariat of Hispanic Affairs with the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, D.C. Cruz said 71 percent of Catholic growth is due to the Hispanic presence. In Indiana, the 2000 census reported 214,536 Hispanic residents, an increase from the reported 98,788 Hispanics in the 1990 census.

Germ theory was unknown at the time, and many of the medicines in use were poisonous. Lead, mercury and opium were widely used then.” Authors who were popular at that time included James Fennimore Cooper, Washington Irving, Jane Austin and Mary Shelly. “An Englishwoman named Frances Trollope lived in the United States for a while,” Grogan said, “and incited a lot of controversy with her critical book about the domestic manners of Americans, which sold like hotcakes.” In 1836, the United States was still a very young country, he said. “It was just 60 years after the Revolutionary War, and the people deeply resented any criticism from England.” Like people today, the residents of Prairietown enjoyed recreation as a break from their chores. “There are always big doings on Independence Day,” Grogan said. “That was the big holiday. Christmas was not a legal holiday in Indiana or any state, except Alabama, in 1836. There was no Memorial Day, Labor Day, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. Thanksgiving was some- what celebrated in New England, but was not an official national holiday until Abraham Lincoln’s administration.” Today it takes about a half hour to drive from Indianapolis to Conner Prairie, which is located at 13400 Allisonville Road in Fishers. In 1836, Grogan said, it would have taken at least four hours, and perhaps as long as six hours, to make the 20-mile trip by horseback or horse and wagon, depending on the weather, of course. “If it had been pouring rain and the mud was two feet deep, travelers would have been stranded,” he said. “In many instances, it was easier to travel through snow than mud because people could hitch up a sleigh.” But regardless of how long it takes for travelers to get there, Grogan said, Prairietown residents are certain to offer Two members of the White River Base Ball Club visitors a warm welcome and lots of prepare for a game at Liberty Corner in 1886.

Several thousand nature lovers hike parts of the treach- erous mountain trail every year, but only about 500 hikers walk the entire distance in a single year. To prepare for this mammoth undertaking, Gibson read books about the Appalachian Trail, sought advice from hiking experts via the Internet, and exercised to get in shape for the hike. “I don’t really know what the final overall impact of this trip is going to have on me,” he said about spending all that time alone walking in the wilderness. “I liked what I discovered about myself.
