<DIV>Your state is famous for the Pelican Girls - twenty-three young women from France (hmmm, wonder if Fifi was involved in this in some way?) who crossed the Atlantic aboard the <I>Pelican</I>. The ladies had been recruited to move to a young settlement, founded in 1702, in order to marry the male settlers and naturally increase the population. </DIV>
