[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from A History of Indiana From Its Exploration to 1850, Vol. 1 of 3 The first account of the extensive plains and prairies south of the Great Lakes was given to the world by the Jesuit missionaries to the Huron Indians. The history of Indiana may well begin by recounting the plans of these early Jesuits for forming a Christian Indian nation around the Great Lakes. Inhabiting the Canadian peninsula extending down between Lakes Huron and Erie and Ontario was an Indian population of from ten to twelve thousand souls. Along the southern shores of the lakes from Erie to the Mississippi river were situated numerous tribes more or less related to those in Canada so that within easy reach of Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior there were not fewer than twenty-five thousand Indians. The Jesuits were the most advanced thinkers of that day. What visions they had of ideal government among this unspoiled Indian folk cannot be known. At one time they spoke of commerce and the expansion of France. At another, they expressed their view that if France was to become the ruler of this vast country and its simple folk, the seeds of French culture and patriotism should be implanted in the savage breast. In other letters they indulged the true Jesuit spirit that the church must outweigh the state in the hearts of the new people.
