Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Indiana Magazine of History, Vol. 14: March, 1918 About three miles southwest of the town of Earl Park, in Benton county, Indiana, there is a section of land, known by way of legal description as section 31, in township 26 north, range 9 west, but otherwise known as "Sumner's Indian Float," and this section was at one time set apart by treaty to the renowned Topenebee, who for forty years, was the principal chief and sachem of the Pottawattomie tribe of Indians. The grand prairies west of the Wabash, comprising all of what is now Benton county and the greater portion of Warren, were really a part of those vast savannas of wild grass-land, interspersed with blackrush sloughs, willow-lined creeks, and pleasant groves of mixed timber, which extended as far west as the Illinois river, and which, up to about the year 1790, were grazed by herds of the American bison.

Excerpt from Indiana Magazine of History, Vol. 18: March, 1922 In establishing the several routes composing the plan of our public works, they do not accommodate the interests, nor enlist the feel ings of our citizens of Jackson, Scott and Clark counties, nor of those south of the New Albany and Vincennes road, and therefore they com plain of its injustice. Of their dissatisfaction, information, both verbal and written, from sources that cannot be disregarded, has been com municated to the governor, that he may make it known to the legislature. In the last named counties, delegates have been sent to a convention at Jasper to deliberate upon measures for the promotion of their wishes, and through their representatives here, the character of the improve ments proposed, and the extent of their claims upon the patronage of the state will be made known to the legislature. But whilst they com plain, they acknowledged their obligations to the state, and mindful of their duty, they are ready, now as heretofore, to sustain the state in her measures, and to respect the supremacy of her laws. Good policy would seem to dictate a course that will quiet these claims and unite these small districts in interest and feeling with the other portions of the' state, and I recommend the subject to your serious considerations.
