Indiana Is Weird

As one that lived most of my formative years, I couldn't agree more. It is and has been in constant flux. Most of my remaining family and friends never left home, except for occasional work assignments and live in a small contained area.

I love a good story and that's what history is - our story. I know the story/history of Maryland far better than other states because that's where I grew up. I knew a little of Indiana because I spent some time there (Ft Ben Harrison) and always take time to smell the roses wherever I go. However, I had little depth of understanding. Of course, I'll have to check all that was reported in this telling of Indiana's story, but it at least piqued my interest to take a look. Lacking a firm understanding of a region's history may be why so many pollsters go astray in predicting election results. Of course, it's not the only reason. Ideology (wishful thinking) is another reason they miss the boat...

Nice concise biography of Indiana....Good read. Thanks
