Geyer narrative, in the 2011 plan
"This changed in 1832 when a treaty called for all Indian land in Indiana to be deeded to the United States Government." That is the claim, quoted exactly from the plan's History & Culture narrative, credited to Geyer's book. Tested against its carrier: the narrative names no treaty, no tribe, no cession and no source; no other part of the plan footnotes or corroborates the sentence; and the document carrying it labels itself a draft. The measured record — Pass 1's plotted verdict, which this section does not re-open — places the town site in the second cession, the Treaty of St. Joseph of 20 September 1828, Royce Area 146, the taking plotted on the GLO record and the 1817-line measurement. The claim therefore prints as what it is: an uncited, universal-form assertion ("all Indian land in Indiana") inside a credited local-history narrative, carried by a draft plan — and, as a statement about this ground, contradicted by the plotted record. It stands in this section so that every later retelling meets the evidence beside it.
