A concise history of a region in flux, this book shows how ideas, people, and places shaped Wisconsin’s story. It traces the long arc from Indigenous beginnings and trading posts to the emergence of a state within the United States, with a focus on the forces that built civic and religious life in the Chequamegon Bay and Lake Michigan corridor. Through narrative fragments and documentary notes, it connects legends, exploration, missions, and migration to the broader arc of American expansion.
- Learn how Ojibway and other Indigenous communities are framed within early trade, settlement, and social change.
- Follow the rise of mission work, explorers, and clerical efforts that influenced local communities.
- See how European and American influence interacted with native traditions in shaping a regional identity.
- Gain context for the region’s place in Wisconsin history and its broader historical currents.
Ideal for readers of Wisconsin regional history and those curious about the region between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
