Synopsis Hoosiers and the American Story by : Madison, James H.
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Synopsis The St. Joseph-Kankakee Portage Its Location and Use by Marquette, La Salle and the French Voyageurs (Classic Reprint) by : George A. Baker
Excerpt from The St. Joseph-Kankakee Portage Its Location and Use by Marquette, La Salle and the French Voyageurs We are led to believe, however, that Louis Jolliet, companion of Marquette and co-discoverer of the Mississippi, knew of this portage as early as 1673. In the early days the region in the vicinity of the portage, the valleys of the St. Joseph and the Kankakee, abounded in a great variety of fur-bearing animals. It was well known among the Indian tribes on account of its excellence as a hunting ground. Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac writing of the lower Peninsula of Michigan in 1701, says: "There are so many vast prairies dotted with woods, thickets and vines where the waters of the streams keep the shores always green and the reaper has left unmown the luxuriant grasses which fatten buffaloes of enormous size." The plain along the eastern bank of the St. Joseph river south of Niles, Michigan, was a noted buffalo resort known to the French as "Pare aux vaches"; and to the Indians as "The cow-pasture," or "cow-pens." Further up the river the field west and south of the portage landing, was called at the time of the visit of Charlevoix in 1721, "La Prairie de Tete la Boeuf" (Buffalo Head Prairie). All this region was a paradise for the Indian. A memoir prepared in 1718, for the French Government describes particularly the valley of the St. Joseph as follows: "Tis a spot the best adapted of any to be seen for purposes of living. There are pheasants as in France; quails and paroquets; the finest vines in the world which produce a vast quantity of very excellent grapes. It is the richest district in all the country."
