On The Banks Of The Wabash River
Stretching 475 miles long and draining 33,000 square miles between its source and its junction, the Wabash River has been a vital contributor to the development and prosperity to the midwest. The Wabash River banks were home to the Pottawatomies, Shawnee, and the Mound Builders as well as settlers. George Rodgers Clark followed this river as he scouted the territory. General William Henry Harrison also followed this river to meet the famous Indian, Tecumseh, in the Battle of Tippecanoe. This picture was taken in Lafayette - West Lafayette, Indiana where the river is celebrated and enjoyed by thousands every day.
