Major Harriman of Wadea A Curious Indiana Pioneer
A reminiscence sketches Major Harriman a frontier figure of Wadea in Fayette County Indiana. Born likely in Noble County he settled near Wadea about 1858 becoming a Crow Wing agent and local leader. Known for whiskey habit and blunt humor he funded land near modern Minneapolis and later moved to the Fayette area where he remained a colorful community pillar until his death around 1875 to 1880.
