Indiana

Known as the "Crossroads of America," Indiana has indeed proven to be central to our nation in many ways. Its limestone has helped build our cities and skyscrapers. Its produce has fed and nourished us. Its favorite sons have risen to the presidency, the Congress, and the Supreme Court to lead and guide us. Its entertainers and athletes have dazzled us. Stocked with larger-than-life characters-Abraham Lincoln, Johnny Appleseed, Tecumseh, Jimmy Hoffa, James Dean, Larry Bird, Michael Jackson-the story of this heartland state is told in a highly entertaining, enthralling, and detail-rich fashion.
