The Indianapolis News notes that Indiana once required laws to be printed in German alongside English. Sessions from 1852 to 1881 saw German printings, with copies for clerks and joint resolutions enabling continued German editions. Historian Mrs Edward Franklin White argues it aimed to attract German settlers, not promote Kultur, citing 1850s incentives and lenient citizenship rules.
