XIV.—VERMONT
•HE dcrlvn- j
tIo n of?
the name Ver- J
mont comes ?
from the j
French “verts ?
rl . moots," o r ;
green rnouu- j
tains, and it was likewise I lie .
French who wore probably the J
first white men to see those lofty ?
landmarks which se approprl- j
ately give this state its mime. ?
This was in July, 1601), when j
Champlain made his memorable j
voyage up tlie hike now called ;
after him. ?
The firsi permanent settle- i
ment was made in 1724 ut Brut- f
tlebnro, where the Miissucliusetls j
colony established a fort as u J
liulfer against invasion from tie* ?
north. Tlie territory used was ;
part of what was known as the j
"Equivalent Lunds,” which were I
sold at public auction in Hurt- j
ford for about a furtliing an i
acre, tlie proceeds being donated j
to Yale college. Shortly after i
this, settlers pushed eastward J
from New York across Luke j
Champlain and westward from ?
New Hampshire. This led to dis- |
pules between these two colo- ?
uies us to their boundaries, l!n- .
der the leadership of Ethan Al
len New York’s claims were re
sisted by n local military force,
which proudly called themselves
"the Green Mountain Boys." It
was these same men who played
such a brilliant part during tlie I
Revolution.
In 1777 a formal Constitution 1
for tlie stute was adopted und f
Vermonters are proud of the fact j
that theirs was tlie first of tlie J
states to prohibit slavery by i
constitutional provision. For a j
number of years Vermont re- j
nuiined as a separate republic, i
but in 1701 It was admitted to ?
the Union us the first addition to f
tlie original thirteen states. J
In size Vermont has 9,564 ?
square miles, and Its emigres- J
sionat. delegation numbers four. ?
It thus eusts four votes for the !

From Virginia ?
came most of I
the settlers of the western state, t
j Riid with them these pioneers i

J und ideals. It was no! until f
« 1750 that the first authentic |
t journey was made by a white j
? man into central parts of tlie J
, region afterwards called Ken*

J state is nicknamed the "Blue

| settlers was the fact that there
f were no Indians living in tliis
region. It was later found that

colonists until Clark's expedi
tions into Ohio and Indiana
checked their invasions. In fact,
the name Kentucky is probably
derived from tlie Iroquois word
kenlkn-ke, meaning “hunting
land." Another Interpretation
is “dark and bloody ground,”
but this is doubtless incorrect.
Tlie main highways of travel
at that time were Daniel

adventurers probably reached |
the present site of Memphis on f
Hip Mississippi. Tlie French I
under La Kallo built a fort here j
about 1682. Tlie English also !
laid claim to lids territory, in- |
eluding it in the grant to North i
Carolina, It was not until 1770 J
that Hie first permanent settle- f
incut was made by James Rob- |
ertson and this was soon fol- i
lowed by many other settlers |
from North Carolina. They I
formed wligt they called the ;
Washington district, but this ?
was short lived as it was I
promptly annexed to North f
Carolina. In 1781 the Inlmbi- !
tants, indignant over North Cur- j
nlina's attitude toward them, I
declared their independence nnd J
formed tlie State of Franklin i
or Frnnkland. As this seces
sion was not countenanced by
North Carolina, for a number
of years a state of confusion J
existed with two sots of officers i
trying to govern. Meanwhile J
tlie settlement suffered severely ;
from hostile Indians nnd from ]
tin* Spanish, who still held Lou- i
isinnn, hikI controlled tlie Mis- J
sissippi river. In 1790 North 1
Carolina finally ceded tills ter- j
ritory to the United States. By 1
179(1 the population had in- i
creased to over 60,000, so Ten- ]
(lessee was admitted us tin* six- ■
teenth state of the Union. j
At the outbreak of the Civil \
war, Tennessee joined tlie Con- ]
federacy. In 1800, when tin* 1
state was readmitted to the Un-
ion, there was much disorder 1
during the reconstruction period. 1

XVII.—OHIO
T HE North
west Ter
ri t ory, of
which Ohio is
a part, was a
bone of con-
ten 11 o p be
tween Spain,
France and England. Spain's
claim was based on tlie voyage
of De Soto up tlie Mississippi
river. France, through tlie ex
plorations of La Salle from the
north and tlie early entry of
French priests from Ciiufidu,
considered this territory theirs.
As for EnglumI, she rested her
claims on the discovery of North
America by the Cabots, and In
the charter granted to Virginia
included all the country lying
to tlie West.
The French were the first to
get a foothold in Ohio, but tlie
English pioneers, who shortly
began to drift westward, flnn-
•!y established their settlements
in tlie fertile Ohio valley. Af
ter a long period of warfare,
in which the Indians played a
leading part, the Northwest Ter
ritory was finally ceded to tlie
United States by the Treaty of
Independence in 1788. And Vir
ginia and other states, which
hud laid claim to portions of
this region turned over their
rights to tlie federal govern
ment.
Tlie government of tlie North
west Territory was formally
created by tlie ordinance of
1787. People from the East mi
grated into tliis territory in
such numbers that by 180.8 Ohio
was taken into tlie Union as tlie
seventeenth state. The fourth
largest state in size of popula
tion, Dido lias 24 electoral votes
for President, while In arcs,
with its 41,040 square miles, it
ranks only thirty-fifth, which
shows how densely it is popu
lated. It Is noted as the stale
of Presidents. President Hard
ing makes tin* seventh Ohioan
to fill the presidential office.
The name Ohio is derived from
the Iroquois word O-hee-yo,
meaning "beautiful river." It
was first applied by the Indi
ans of the Five Nations to what
we now call tlie Allegheny riv
er, one of the chief tributaries
of tlie Ohio. Gradually tlie
name came to Include i|ie whole
river, sometimes even being ap
plied to tlie Mississippi. Later
it was confined to tlie river be
tween Pittsburg and Cairo, and
appropriately tlie first state
formed on Its northern bank
was named after It. Ohio is
often called the Buckeye State
from Its large number of horse-
chestnut trees.
