Salamonie

The name Salamonie was derived from the Native American word "O-sah-mo-nee," which means "yellow paint." Native Americans made yellow paint from the bloodroot plant which grew in great abundance along the winding banks of the river.

A special place my Father introduced me to at a very young age. A favorite fishing and swimming hole - Good fossil and relic hunting there too. Innumerable species of plants and animals abound.
