Vigo County, Indiana - Chapter 16, 1891 (part 1 of 2)

Land Entries

HARRISON'S PURCHASE was opened for sale in September, 1816. This was the signal for the wild mad rush for land - lands that extended their fame for richness and beauty throughout all the older settlements from northern Maine to Florida. As a specimen of the reports the soldiers carried back to their friends we give the report of one of the surveyors who surveyed out the lines. M. D. Buck was so impressed with the country that he wrote and published an account in Brown's Gazetteer in 1817, and to this surveyor's accounts were added interesting notes by Samuel R. Brown, who had visited the Wabash country. From the two is condensed the following in reference to this particular portion of the country:

"The bottoms bordering the Wabash are rich; wells have been sunk in them that showed a vegetable soil twenty -two feet deep, though the ordinary depth is from two to five feet. All the streams have spacious and fertile bottoms. The prairies in the vicinity of Fort Harrison exceed for beauty and richness anything I ever be¬ held. The land sells very high near Fort Harrison, for it is the most delightful situation for a town on the Wabash. The Indians camp in the woods convenient to water, where they build wigwams. While surveying in the wilderness they appeared very friendly, and offered us honey and venison. The woods abound with bear, deer, and wild turkeys. About three-eighths of the land we surveyed is excellent for most kinds of produce; the remainder is good for grazing, but either too hilly or flat and wet for grain. [How ex- perience has reversed this early decision about the low wet lands. Everywhere the lowest are now the best, and the soil as it does not wash is the most durable. Great crops are now every year grow¬ ing where once water stood all the season and was often deep enough to swim a horse. - Ed. ] Wheat grows rank, but the grain is not as plump as in New York. The difficulty is the land is too rich until improved. Apple trees bear every year. Wheat is 75 cents a bushel; flour, $3 a hundred - $4 if delivered at Fort Harri¬ son; pork, $4; beef, the same; butter and cheese, from 12^ cents to 25 cents; honey, 50 cents a gallon; maple sugar, 25 cents. European goods exorbitantly high. Ginseng grows in the bottoms to a size and perfection I never before witnessed.

"The lands in Harrison's purchase when first opened for sale at Jefferson sold very high, and numerous tracts brought from $4 to $30 per acre. A section on the Wabash below Fort Harrison [Terre Haute] sold at $32.18 per acre. The best proof of the ex¬ cellence of these lands is the fact of their being' the scene of a numerous Indian population. * * Serpents are not very nu¬ merous. Deer are mortal enemies of the rattlesnake, and often kill them by jumping on them. It is also reported ["reported" was well put in - Ed.] that the turkey buzzard has the power of killing the rattlesnake by its intolerable stench, which it most powerfully emits by a violent fluttering in the air a little above the snake's head."

This gives us a faint idea of the impression of the spot where is now Terre Haute made upon those who first beheld it. Is it any wonder men started on a race from North Carolina and from our northeast shore to the newly opened land office with their land war¬ rants or Canadian rights to carry off the pick of such a favored locality? Those wTho had the means rode like "John Gilpin" for the land office - sometimes killing their horses. It was the high timber lands and the inviting points along the streams as well as the natural mill-sites that were the points these men were racing to

These rushing, panting land buyers were a source of astonish¬ ment to the natives as well as many of the nomadic whites without fixed habitations, and who had mixed with Indians or angled in the streams in lazy content, and lodged in their wigwams with no con¬ cern more than to catch the fish and game and eat and be merry, ready to follow the game when civilization would first begin to drive it from its haunts.

now coming. On the most fertile spots on the bottoms the peavine grew in tangled masses, cropped by the half wild cattle that grew fat on this nutritious food. The spicewood choked the glades and the thick paw-paw groves filled in the heavy timber bottoms until the tangled woods were often difficult of passage. Frequently a caravan would be all day cutting its way through five miles of these obstructions. The little "clearin'" about the new cabin often was involved in no slight labor. But when that labor was performed and the virgin soil that had been the slow accumulation of the ages was turned to the sun and the winds, then came therefrom the in¬ visible waves that literally savored of death. The moldering vege¬ tation and earth damp were the open Pandora's box to the busy pioneers. The stream when deprived of these leafy shades and the hot sun drank their sluggish waters became open sewers run¬ ning with malaria.

Whole families were prostrated with the fever until there was not one to wait upon another. This " sickly " climax was reached in the next four or five years after the real beginning of clearing the land and making farms. During these years in the fall season, travelers tell of riding ten or fifteen miles along in the settlements near a stream where all were prostrated. In a few years there was an improvement in this respect, but the fever and ague were more or less in the new country for a generation. When it first came to those poor people, a besom of destruction surely, how could they live on and hope? How could they believe this would ever change? They knew little concerning it, why should it not grow worse in¬ stead of better, as long as there was human life left for this mon¬ ster to feed upon ? It was not enough for these poor pioneer women to be thus banished to the lonely solitudes from their dear old homes and friends, but they must live and dread and suffer, and see their blessed prattlers panting and burning in the hot fever that was so ruthlessly undermining their lives.

If there ever was true courage in this world it was all surely required by these people that moved on, and without complaint, with¬ out despair, fought out this unequaled fight.

So far we have been dealing with the memories and authentic traditions of these brave and hardy men and women who were among the first to come to this particular part of the Wabash country. The lands in what is Vigo county were in the market to purchasers September, 1816, and time has invested these old and yellow records with the greatest interest. The hour of the open¬ ing of the land offices is that of the division line between the " squatter " and the land buyer. To-day all are squatters, when a new comer could get no other title to his land than that of posses¬ sion and his little improvement made thereon, and then depend up- on keeping watch and guard over it until it would come into market and be the first to buy it of the government, and to-morrow the bars are thrown down and the land buyer is rushing to the land offices.

The government would notify the people that on a certain day it would open its land office doors and certain lands would be for sale, and "first come, first served." In the swarms of home buyers were to be found the keen-eyed land speculator. Some of these were ever ready to "enter out" the settler, basing his judgment upon that of the man who had pick and choice of all of it, and at times there were in this way grievous wrongs perpetrated.

The settlers, however, soon allowed these cases of wrong to formulate among them a strong unwritten law that the smart specu¬ lator should not ruthlessly rob honest men of their toil, and when a case of this kind would occur they would say to him: "Pay the man for his improvement or else take your money back aud give him the land," and this was enforced impartially and there were few cases that in the end satisfactory justice was not reached. Thus, without any written organization, these pioneers became knit together in the strongest bands of self-interest and brotherhood, and in their social lives they were all as one. And when another family arrived every cabin door was open to them and no one waited for the new arrivals to call for assistance, but the people would go and help them in every way, pointing out to them the choicest spots where was good land and springs, or living water, and after they had looked about and made their selections every man for miles would meet and generally in a day put up the log cabin, and not only help the family move in, but bring them of their food, and their women folk and, if possible, the one-eyed fiddler, and a jolly house-warming would take place in the evening. The new arrivals, although now in their own house, were the neighbors' guests, and the genuine hearty welcome was, beyond doubt, often a blessed balm to many a poor, heavy-hearted woman who could hardly realize that all was not a dream.

This hearty, unaffected friendship and substantial good will, this frank and cordial aid and well wishing, gave tone and color to the lives of the pioneers that has marked the generations as a type of people expressed in the phrase "western," and impressed some¬ thing of itself on the descendants of those noble people that may be distinctly noticed to this time. Hearty and rugged, generous and sympathetic, and to hide this as much as possible beneath a rough exterior is nearly a universal western trait. These hearty men generally carry great contempt for what the Indians so expressively called "squaw men," and yet for the weak and helpless, if they could do so by stealth, they were as tender hearted and as kind as the gentlest woman. These people were without guile. They had but precious little of this modern mad fever for great wealth. They wanted, like Scotia's bard, "just enough and not too much." And therefore they made small material for the mad house or the peniten¬ tiary. In the showy side of life they would now be esteemed at fault, but, after all, in these sterling qualities that are the real " man for a' that and a' that," their lives may be studied with infinite profit by the most favored pets of fortune in these enervating times. They had no conceptions of how "to smile and smile and still a villain," but rather chose to hide their gentlest nature beneath the roughest exterior. Whatever of this world's goods the average pio¬ neer had he had earned it, and whether that was much or little, if his pioneer neighbor in his distress needed it, it was his without the asking. They had no lunatic asylums, penal institutions or poor houses - they did not need them. One of our modern "tramps" would then have been nearly as extraordinary as an elephant.

But these people were not angels with budding wings, they were not the perfect, polished men and women, and it is not the intention at all to so represent them here. But in those cardinal qualities of manhood, and all that is strong and real, in all those broad and generous things that are the inner life of which the exterior is but the husk that covers the kernel, wherein is there ought of which their descendants need blush when they compare them in the mental balance with even the best of modern everyday life ?

With some of them their amusements and pastimes were so coarse that they bordered on the brutal. Some of these strong men would drink deeply of their strong drink, and cock fight, gamble, race horses, and in their cups would fight much like infuriated animals. And the rule of the present is to refer to the rough pio¬ neers and judge them all by these exceptions, and hence the average young of to-day are warped and all wrong in their information about those people. Suppose in a century from now the young of that time should form their estimate of all of us by reading of our "prize fighters," sluggers, bullies, bruisers, sand baggers, train robbers, bank defaulters, sneak thieves, and the whole lot that are crowded to overflowing in our many and vast penal institutions, our asylums and our poorhouses, and even our overburdened feeble¬ minded institutions. Would not such judgments be a little bit absurd, if not stupid? You must think of a people always in their averages and not the exceptions. This is the only intelligent cri¬ terion by which you can be guided. Some understanding of the law of averages is the very essence of true history - the exceptions are perpetuated simply as interesting phenomena.

But to return to the subject of the first land buyers - the first recorded official action of the people in the year 1816. These do not give all the transactions in that line, only the most of them.

"The Canadian land rights'" may or may not be reported, and so of entries, they may not be on record until the patent is issued, years after the entry. The date given is generally that of tiling as found on the voluminous records in which they are scattered over many pages. There are other facts recorded, such as bonds, power of attorney, assignment of title, bonds for deeds, etc. The description of the real estate is given in order in most of the cases to denote where the different ones settled or made their homes. These have been carefully culled from the county records, transcribed from the Vincennes records when this was Knox county, and then, as they were brought in for record, to our county clerk. Suffice it to state that for each year the records had to be gone carefully over each separate time.

It will be noticed the first entry on the record is by a man named Abraham Tourttlot to Eliakim Crosby. I minted in vain for any one who had ever heard of this first name, could find no trace of him. A closer examination showed that the land was not now in Vigo county, but it was put down in the list because it was made to Crosby, who was a citizen of what is now Vigo. These lists run through the years from 1816 to 1830, and in the matter of original land titles will be of easy reference to all interested in land titles :
