Reminds me of this one, in a very different place, but similar immediate circumstances. <http://galleries.moosemystic.net/Brooklyn/Things/All%20Things/slides/_MG_3220cor.html>

<http://www.indiana.edu/%7Elibrcsd/internet/extra/hoosier.html>"?

The reading I was just doing agreed about the original derogatory meaning applied to early settlers in S. Indiana, but says that they grabbed it, turned it around and used it as a term of pride, thumbing their noses at their condescending neighbors.
