Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Department of Statistics and Geology of the State of Indiana, 1879: To the Governor In 1816 the population enumerated a sufficient number to entitle the Territory, according to the fundamental ordinance, to admission as a State in the Federal Union, and during that year the State government was organized by the inauguration of Gov cruor Jennings November 7, 1816. At this date but few steamboats were in use. The principal mode of transportation was floating with the river current, or ascending by cars and pushing keel-boats with poles. The only roads were Indian trails. Commerce was impossible; for a long period the only arti cles of export were skins and furs Of wild animals packed across the mountains on horses, until the large surplus found exit by the slow floating flat boats, down the Wabash and its tributaries, down the Ohio and Mississippi through the Indian country, a voyage of over miles, to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico.
