GA Review
[edit]GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?

- In the History section, is this ---> "A forest and a woodman felling a tree, a buffalo leaving the forest and fleeing through the plain to a distant forest, and sun in the west with the word Indiana", suppose to be italicized? Same section, it would be best if "Indiana General Assembly" is linked once, per here.
