"The present volume is the third in the general series of the Wisconsin Counties, Prairies and Forest. The publication, in atlas format, of the so-called Town Studies was experimental and has had no successor in the Domesday series. The lead region study differs from the Four Wisconsin Counties in combining the history of an important extractive industry, lead mining, with the history of the development of agriculture. Unlike the previous study, also, which did not deal with the industrial cities of the lake shore located within the boundaries of the counties surveyed, this book takes account of the leading towns, non of them large, which have served the several communities. Special attention is directed to the article which appears as Appendix IV, prepared by professor Vernor C. Finch of the geography department, university of Wisconsin. Professor Finch, desiring to work out such a careful detail study of a typical farming district, devoted a large part of his summer vacation in 1928, with an assistant, to the Montfort area. His results are decidedly interesting and throw much light on the utilization of the land in the two contrasted types of terrain about which so much is said in the book proper-the rough lands of the north slope, and the prairies. Appendix II, "origin of the Wisconsin lead and zinc deposits," the work of a you Wisconsin and Harvard University geologist, Paul A. Schager, supplements and checks, in a thoroughgoing scientific survey of the region, what is written for laymen by a layman mainly in chapters II and VIII. The illustrations, it is believed, will constitute a welcome new feature of the Domesday publications. The index has been prepared by the assistant editor, Lilian Krueger. The publication was paid for out of the income from the Burrows Fund devoted to the Domesday Studies by action of the executive committee of the society."

Rediscover Wisconsin history from the very beginning. A Short History of Wisconsin recounts the landscapes, people, and traditions that have made the state the multifaceted place it is today. With an approach both comprehensive and accessible, historian Erika Janik covers several centuries of Wisconsin's remarkable past, showing how the state was shaped by the same world wars, waves of new inhabitants, and upheavals in society and politics that shaped the nation. Swift, authoritative, and compulsively readable, A Short History of Wisconsin commences with the glaciers that hewed the region's breathtaking terrain, the Native American cultures who first called it home, and French explorers and traders who mapped what was once called "Mescousing." Janik moves through the Civil War and two world wars, covers advances in the rights of women, workers, African Americans, and Indians, and recent shifts involving the environmental movement and the conservative revolution of the late 20th century. Wisconsin has hosted industries from fur-trapping to mining to dairying, and its political landscape sprouted figures both renowned and reviled, from Fighting Bob La Follette to Joseph McCarthy. Janik finds the story of a state not only in the broad strokes of immigration and politics, but also in the daily lives shaped by work, leisure, sports, and culture. A Short History of Wisconsin offers a fresh understanding of how Wisconsin came into being and how Wisconsinites past and present share a deep connection to the land itself.

Excerpt from The Wisconsin Lead Region: Frontier Community The difficulty was more easily talked about than solved. Leading the miners was Henry Dodge, who had come over from Missouri and had led a militia company against the Winnebago. He had made strikes near Dodgeville late in November, 1827, and by January had taken out more than worth of lead. With two Negroes he was raising about pounds a day. Not only did he have a sound investment pay ing off, but Henry Dodge was a hard man to move anyway. Dodge had made a bargain with the Bear, a Winnebago chief, and then sold parts of his purchase to incoming miners. As news of the de posits spread, hundreds fiocked into the area. Some bought from Dodge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
