REVERSE TEXT: INDIANA.

INDIANA'S first European visitor was La Salle, who in 1669-70 coasted along the Ohio River and opened a trade with the natives. Afterwards he crossed the portage (near South Bend) from the St. Joseph's to the Kankakee. Post Ouiatenon, founded near the site of Lafayette in 1720, was the first military establishment here, followed seven years later by the Post de Ouibache, which Lieut. de Vincennes established on the site of the present Vincennes.

For two-thirds of a century the French made one of their favorite routes from Lake Erie to the Mississippi River across Indiana, ascending the Maumee River, with a long portage near Lafayette, and then descending the Wabash and Ohio.

Louis XV.'s decree established slavery in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys, but the American ordinance, of 1787, set the Northwestern Territory apart for freedom. A strong party in Southern Indiana favored the perpetuation of slavery there, and kept it in actual operation until after the year 1840. In 1811 the eloquence of Tecumseh aroused the Shawnees to hostility against the American Government. General Harrison advanced against them and he was attacked in camp by the Indians before sunrise, but finally repulsed the enemy and inflicted heavy losses upon them, burning their towns and laying waste the country.

During the war of 1812 Indiana suffered severely, and Fort Wayne and other strongholds were assaulted or besieged by the enemy.
