Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Indiana Indiana Two Centuries Ago. - More than two centuries have passed since European white men first set foot on the soil of what is now Indiana. The country was then a vast wilderness. It was almost wholly covered with tangled forests, threaded by noble rivers, and inhabited by a varied wild life and by bands of roving savages. In the north and west, open prairies, with rich and copious grasses, added beauty to the landscape. In the north clear calm lakes, with beautifully wooded shores and sweet pure water, basked in the sunshine. Surely here was nature´s garden spot. In the lowlands of the valleys near the streams were immense swamps. They made the country almost impassable at certain seasons. What changes have two centuries wrought! How very different is the land we know as Indiana to-day! The forests are gone, the swamps are drained, the wild creatures have fled or linger only in remote places. Where once the deer grazed are now well-tilled farms. Where the buffalo marched in stately droves to salt-lick and spring are now lines of steel coursed by thundering trains. Where the woodlands were thickest are now thriving towns and cities. What magic has wrought this marvelous change?
