WISCONSIN MAGAZINE of HISTORY J^, Volume 29 September 1945 Number 1 Chats with the Editor ISAPPOINTMENT is always hard to take. We regret, then, to have to report that the 1945 Wisconsin Legislature D did not provide the half-million dollars we need to modernize our forty-five year old building and expand it to serve the Society's and the State's present-day needs. The appropriation was included in the Governor's Building Program, but the passage of the Highway Segregation Act seems to ™ °?fj. 6 ™ have caused the paring down of that pro- Bmldtng Program . T . , —, -r T • • • , Came Out &ram b? the Leglslature- The University of Wisconsin, the Department of Public Wel- fare, and the Society were the chief losers in the compromise bill which was then passed. The Society, however, can look forward to postwar action which will solve some part of its building problem. Since the completion of the Society's building in 1900, it has been shared with the main University of Wisconsin Library. The appropri- ation by the Legislature to the university, though heavily cut, is large enough to assure the construction of a new University Library which will cost about $1,800,000, and the University Board of Regents has given that project a high priority in its building program. Thus the day is not too far off when the University Library will leave our building, almost doubling the amount of space we 2 CHATS WITH THE EDITOR [September shall have for book stacks and facilities for readers. We shall continue to serve the university as a library for American studies, and with interest in these subjects increasing and the armed forces returning home, we can foresee a renaissance in the use of our collections by university scholars. No doubt we shall be able to take better care of the reading public than we could previously. Unfortunately, though, the removal of the University Library will not allow us to solve our museum space problems. We shall try to redesign the lower floor of our building to use most of it for museum purposes, but we cannot gtt away from the necessity of keeping most of our exhibits on the hard-to-reach fourth floor. Worst of all, we shall not have auditorium space to allow us to carry on efficiently a program with the public schools of the state. There is a fundamental conflict between the interests of quiet research scholars and of school children bubbling over with enthusiasm. The half-million dollar improvement we had planned would have largely divided the two groups in our building, with a separate entrance, stairways, and auditorium for our museum teaching program. We should say, though, that the Legislature was not at all un- mindful of the needs of the Society. Our regular appropriation was increased by about $25,000 for the next biennium—bringing the Society back to pre-depression par—and a bill was passed to modify the state printing system so that this Magazine and our books need not be printed under the unsatisfactory general class contract system. Another new law allows us to liberalize our interlibrary loans. We sincerely thank all the members of the Society and especially the Board of Curators for their help in presenting our case to the Legislature. We would say a special word of appreciation for our good friends among the newspaper editors of the state. We charge our defeat, not to any unfriendliness of the Legislature to the Society, but to a complicated general state financial and political situation over which we could have no control. We plan to fight again, to keep plugging for what the Society needs if it is to do its full duty by the State. 1945] CHATS WITH THE EDITOR 3 ASSEMBLYMAN FRED L. FEIERSTEIN of Random Lake represents Ozaukee County in the Wisconsin Legislature. He got to thinking one day on the problem of how best the war records of the nearly ^ __. 2,000 service men and women from his County Histonans ,. , . '. county could be preserved . He recalle1t d for Wisconsin ' . _ ,. * . _ . 1 . that after World War I, commercial history writing companies sent representatives into several Wisconsin counties to prepare histories of the counties in the war and that sometimes this work was too hurried and inaccurate to be very satisfactory. Why not, thought Mr. Feierstein, have such work done by the county itself? Why not set up a new office of county historian? Mr. Feierstein thereupon introduced a bill which was passed by the Legislature creating section 59.08(48) of the statutes. The law allows county boards to set up the position of county historian who shall receive such compensation as the board may fix. It shall be the duty of such county historian to collect and preserve the records of the Indians and the early pioneers, the ex- periences of military men and women and the records of their service; to mark and compile data concerning places of historical interest in the county; and to perform such other duties relating to the collection, preservation, compilation and publication of historical data as the board may prescribe. The board may provide the county historian with a fire- proof safe or vault in which to keep papers and documents, with clerical assistance and such other needs as will enable him to adequately perform his duties. The board may require such reports as it may determine. The chief immediate duty of county historians will probably be to work on the history of county participation in World War II. But the law is broadly enough drawn to allow such a historian to become a permanent officer of the county. In New York State where an extensive system of local historians exists, the county historians not only answer historical inquiries for all county offices, but also look after noncurrent records of the county and cooperate with the State Historian's Office in marking historical sites, con- ducting centennial celebrations, and the like. A Society of County Historians has been organized there, and this summer the State Historian's Office held an institute for local historians at which they received instruction in library, museum, record keeping, and historical publication matters. In New York, too, the county 4 CHATS WITH THE EDITOR [September historian often acts as a coordinating center for historical affairs in the county, working especially closely with any local historical society or societies which may exist. No sooner had the Wisconsin county historian law passed than various counties began to take steps looking to the creation of the new office. So far as we have heard, the first county to appoint such an officer is Oconto County. There the energetic Oconto County Historical Society, whose acting president is Mrs. Cleo F. Meeuwsen, has since its organization in 1940 furnished a fine museum in the old Beyer Homestead in Oconto which is owned by the county. On July 19 the Oconto County Board passed a resolu- tion asking the historical society to nominate a county historian and appropriating to the society for the expenses and salary of this county historian until the end of the year the sum of $500. The society has nominated and the board appointed as county historian Mr. Frank DonLevy, treasurer of the society. Thus begins a promising experiment in developing county his- torical interest. Our warmest congratulations go to Mr. Feierstein and to the enlightened people of Oconto County who have been responsible for pioneering in this new field. We understand that several other counties are planning to take similar action. FOR MANY YEARS one of the greatest treasures of this Society has been its Draper Collection of Manuscripts. It consists of 469 folio .,. r7 . j volumes of manuscript materials on the Microfilming and An i_ wr T 7 history or the old trans-Allegheny West, Lammattng the , ,, r , . , ~ u .., .,_ the bulk or them covering the regio& n Draper Manuscripts r , .

Entered according to an act of Congress, in the year lb"T:?, by N. :MATSON, In the Clerk's office of the District Conrt of the United States, in and for Northern District of Illinois. -:---.:::--------- ~---------·· FLIGHT OF SET'l'LEUS, INTRODUCTION TO PART FIRST. The writer ot the following story came to Bureau soon after the settlement had been commenced, and experienced some of the inconveniences common to the settlement of a new country. At that time, the prairies of this county were in a state of nature, without roads, fields, or dwellings, a part of which had not yet been surveyed. The only marks of civilization to be seen were a few log cabins, built here and there in the edge of the timber, and throughout the county there was scarcely a school, or meeting house; not one surveyed road, nor one stream bridged. Indian trail1.-­ were still to be seen, and traveled both by whites and Indians. The writer was .well acquainted with the first settlers. and from them much of this story was obtained. He also had frequent interviews with Indians, who had spent their youthful days on ~ureau, and from them many important facts were gathered. There are some incidents narrated in this story, which were unknown to the early settlers, but the most of them were well known, and will be confirmed by persons still living. Efforts were made to harmonize the early traditions of this county, as well as the state­ ments of Indians, with well established facts, and with a few exceptions it has been successful.

As members of the Waupaca Historical Society have long appreciated, the Cynthia Holly Room is a fine place for a speaker to present as it seats about 50 people, has comfortable chairs in a theater arrangement (or if desired a table arrangement), and is not so large as to need a microphone. Following an introduction by Jerry Chappell, Nelson’s presentation readily captured the attention and advanced the knowledge of over 30 Book Festival attendees who were able to closely study his slides on ten styles of house architecture. Wendell showed about three examples of each style as he pointed out critical identifying and differentiating features of homes, including Italianate, Greek Revival, Victorian Eclectic, Gambrel-roofed, Tower, Square, Cement Block, and Stucco architecture. Afterward, a number of copies of Wendell’s classic 1983 book Houses That Grew were sold.

    Wisconsin: Our State, Our Story Chapter 5 Additional Activities Becoming Wisconsin: From Indian Lands to Territory to Statehood Activity5 5.1: Whose Land? A Story of Black Hawk Teacher Materials Preparation/Organization It will take several days to complete the full activity, since students will need several rehearsal sessions before carrying out their performance. Depending upon time constraints, you might want to devote some time for the preparations each day for a week or so. (Note: If you and students wish, you might want to invite other classes or even friends and families to the performance.) In terms of organization, it should not be difficult to get the whole class involved in the production, since there are 16 actors and also directors, set designers, stagehands, and prop masters. You will want to have enough copies of Student Pages 1–10 for all students involved. A number of readily available or easily made items will also be needed: • two chairs • a desk • a large cloth sack • a blanket • an inkwell (or similar object) • a long sheet of paper • several sheets of writing paper • life-size drawing of several corn stalks • shovel or garden hoe (or two broomsticks) • map of the United States Procedure 1. Select those students who will be actors and inform students of the parts they will be playing. Also assign students to jobs as directors, set designers, prop masters, and stagehands. 2. Hand out scripts to those who will be acting, highlighting their parts for them. Also give out copies of the script to students who will be helping you direct, designing and making sets, preparing props, and serving as stagehands.

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.

  • Where Is Red Bird Buried?
    Where is Red Bird Buried? In 1827 a series of incidents occurred, which were to be described later as “The Winnebago War”. The Winnebago (now known as the Ho-Chunk), already angered by the encroachment of miner’s into Southwest Wisconsin, heard a rumor that two of their tribe had been taken prisoner at Fort Snelling, charged with theft, and forced to run the gauntlet resulting in their death. This and other incidents caused the tribe to call on their leaders for revenge. White settlers similarly distrusted the Winnebago because in the spring of 1826 some of their tribe had attacked and murdered the Francis Methode family (both parents and seven children) while they were camped on the Yellow River collecting maple syrup. The spot is about 12 miles north of Prairie Du Chien on the Iowa side of the Mississippi (in what is now Effigy Mounds National Monument). Chief Red Bird, who was known and generally trusted in the area of Prairie Du Chien, decided to exact revenge according to the tribal custom. This required an equal or greater shedding of the blood from those who had wronged the tribe. On June 26, 1828 Red Bird, a warrior called We-kaw and several other Winnebago went to a log cabin 2 miles from Prairie Du Chien (Frenchtown) owned by Registre Gagnier, a farmer. Gagnier invited them to share the meal then boiling in the pot. They entered the cabin, and sat to eat. On a predetermined signal Gagnier was shot in the chest. A visitor, Paschal Menior was shot at but jumped through a window and escaped unharmed.
