Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Centennial History of Indiana: For Schools and for Teachers Institutes That the year 1916, the Centennial of Indiana´s Statehood, should awaken the deepest popular interest and be marked with a pageantry unprecedented in any similar case is not surprising, in view of the history of the State and its people. Indiana was the eighteenth State to be organized and to enter the American Union. Of the four dozen States composing the great Republic, Indiana is only the thirty-eighth in area, being the smallest of all the "Western States" of the old classification; but in population, according to the Federal census of 1910, it is surpassed by only seven States in all the Union. The people of Indiana are chiefly of the old Colonial stock, the European immigration never having been excessive; and the boundaries of the State are for the most part highly artificial, consisting of straight and imaginary lines. Yet in its history and development Indiana has manifested a character of its own, which is altogether remarkable among the commonwealths; and while the people are intensely loyal to the Union as a whole, they cherish a deep love for their State, and take great pride in it. The travel of the world and the migrations of people are far more generally upon east-and-west lines than upon north-and-south lines; and a majority of the States naturally have their longest lines running east and west, or approach more nearly the figure of a square, or are very irregular in shape. Indiana and Illinois are among the exceptions to this general rule, for their greatest extension lies north and south, directly across the lines of popular movement.
