…Nothing of astounding historical significance happened in Indiana.
BUT July 1, 1899 is the stated birthday of that famous (fictional) archaeologist Henry Walton Jones, Jr. You probably know him better as Indiana Jones. (Don’t call him Junior, though; he hates that.)
And there’s your random fiction fact for the day! Happy July, Hoosiers. And if you’re visiting our friends north of the border, remember that it’s Canada Day up there!
