Although it has been excerpted in other publications, it has never been published separately. The first non-Indian to see the Mississippi River was a Spaniard, Hernan DeSoto._1 He claimed the valley of the river for the Spanish crown in 1541, and it remained under Spanish rule for some two hundred years. The river brought the first non-Indian to settle on the site of Muscatine, a man named Casey who cut wood and sold it to passing steamboats.2_ Over the years since, the river has brought to Muscatine the raw materials for its industries and carried away its produce, delivered p Read More Go to Site

		Statistical Brief No. 11 ^Votes:0 Latinos in Indiana: On the Throes of Growth by Robert Aponte Associate Professor of Sociology, IUPUI Research Affiliate, JSRI with the assistance of Brenda Graves IUPUI July 1999 Like most states in the nation's heartland, Indiana has hosted relatively few residents of Hispanic or Latino origin in the last few decades (Aponte and Siles, 1994). However, there are indications that this situation is changing rapidly, as we relate below. Nevertheless, the number of Latino residents in the state fell just short of 100,000 persons at the time of the last census. Thus, only three states (Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio) of the 12 in the Midwest region held more Latinos in 1990. This report provides a preliminary assessment of the group in Indiana, particularly as they compare with other groups in th Read More Go to Site
