[edit] new picture of Wabash River

I think the Wabash would be better served by a picture in a rural setting.

  • I like the current picture and would welcome additions -- not to "serve" (or promote) but to describe and explain. Please do sign your posts on talk pages! Malepheasant 06:51, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Historical Wabash

76.184.191.89 13:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)Contrary to Herb Shriner, I left Indiana. It was my home and I loved it, but career choices made it impossible to stay. I never forgot Indiana, nor it's most famous river, the Wabash.

I am now relearning Indiana and places that I fondly remember. The Wabash River is high on my list to visit soon.

For such a large and important river, certainly to Indiana and probably the nation, the Wabash seems to have little written about it. The celabration of the Wabash may be available, but I just haven't found it yet.

Many references can be found alluding to the time the river was used as a highway between the French provinces in the north and Louisiana in the south. There should be many stories...............but I can't find them.

My family goes back to the settlement of Indiana just as Indiana was becoming a state. They were in Clinton County when Clinton County was formed out of Tippicanoe County. They entered the area from Fort Pitt. The logical route to Clinton County would have been the Wabash River.....coming ashore near Lafayette.

The pre-1816 history should be charming. Stories should abound. Where are they?
