All About Indiana

Indiana, known as the “Hoosier State” since the 1830s, joined the Union on December 11, 1816 as the 19th state. Indiana has also earned the nickname as the “Mother of Vice Presidents” (Schuyler Colfax, Thomas A. Hendricks, Charles W. Fairbanks, Thomas Marshall and Dan Quayle). Indiana means “Land of the Indians”.

Indiana, one of the Great Lakes States and in the East North Central Region, is bordered on the north by Lake Michigan and the state of Michigan, the east by Ohio, to the south by the Ohio River and Kentucky, and on the west by Illinois.

Peonies, the Indiana State Flower, are herbaceous perennial plants with large, often fragrant blooms, ranging from red to white or yellow, that display in late spring and early summer.

The name peony is based on Paeon (or Paean), a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. When Asclepius became jealous of his pupil Zeus saved him by turning him into the peony flower.

George Rogers Clark's Handwritten Demand for the Surrender of Vincennes, Indiana,
Giclee Print

Vincennes, founded in 1732 by French settlers from Canada as a part of Louisiana, is the oldest continually inhabited European settlement in Indiana and one of the oldest settlements west of the Appalachians.

After the French and Indian War (Seven Years War) Vincennes was under British rule until the American Revolution. In 1779 George Rogers Clark, the highest ranking American military officer on the frontier, led militia in the capture of Kaskaskia and Vincennes in present day Illinois and Indiana respectively, which weakened the British presence in the Old Northwest.

FYI - George Rogers Clark was the older brother of William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition into the Missouri Purchase.

James Whitcomb Riley
b. 10-7-1849; Greenfield, IN
d. 7-22-1916

James Whitcomb Riley, known as the Hoosier Poet for his use of the Indiana dialect, wrote humorous and sentimental poetry, often regarded for children.






James Whitcomb Riley quotes ~
• “It is no use to grumble and complain. It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice; When God sorts out the weather and sends rain - Why, rain's my choice.”
• “The ripest peach is highest on the tree.”
• “When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.”
• ...“An' little Orphant Annie says,
when the blaze is blue,
An' the lamp-wick sputters,
an' the wind goes woo-oo!
An' you hear the crickets quit,
an' the moon is gray,
An' the lightnin'-bugs in dew
is all squenched away,--
You better mind yer parunts,
an' yer teachurs fond an' dear,
An' churish them 'at loves you,
an' dry the orphant's tear,
An' he'p the pore an' needy ones
'at clusters all about,
Er the Gobble-uns 'll git you
Ef you
Don't
Watch
Out!”
