Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the settlement of Wisconsin by people of Yankee and German descent. When the first wave of immigrants began arriving in 1835, the area was largely occupied by Native Americans and French settlers. The Yankees were primarily from New England and New York, while the Germans originated from southern and southwestern regions, as well as Eastern European countries. The author analyzes the different approaches each group took to farming. The Yankees favored open land and were quick to bring in new technologies, such as canals and railroads. The Germans, on the other hand, preferred forested areas and were more cautious in their adoption of new practices. The book demonstrates that the distribution of the two groups was largely determined by the availability of desired farmland. The author also reveals processes of acculturation and assimilation that occurred as the two groups interacted and competed for resources and political power. This book provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the settlement of the American Midwest and the role of immigration in shaping the region's history.
