  • Radisson's Two Western Journeys
    RADISSON'S TWO WESTERN JOU RN EYS When the French in the beginning of the seventeenth century took possession of the St. Lawrence Valley, the acquisition does not seem to have been considered an event of major importance. The population of the home coun­ try was not yet so dense as to demand new territory for expansion. For many years, moreover, there was doubt that agriculture would prove profitable In a climate so much more severe than that of France. The acquisition of Can­ ada was therefore considered of dubious value except by a few missionaries, and the royal government was very slow in granting any assistance for the safety or progress of the new colony. Soon, however, it was discovered that this American possession could supply one great need of the home coun­ try, and that was furs. Particularly was it rich in beaver, which was in great demand for beaver hats—the headgear demanded by fashion. The fur trade therefore became the mainstay of the colony and gained for it the few crumbs of favor that it received. For many years this trade was confined to the small tribes on the rivers that empty into the St. Lawrence from the north. Then came a larger supply of furs from the more populous Huron country and from the Ottawa on Manitoulln Island. Each spring when the Indians brought in their canoes filled with peltries, small fairs were held in Montreal and Three Rivers, where the natives exchanged their furs for the utensils, tools, orna­ ments, and dainties that the French merchants and habit­ ants had to offer.

  • Locations Guide for the Light Keeper's Legacy
    Locations Guide for The Light Keeper’s Legacy Book 3 in the Chloe Ellefson Historic Sites Mystery Series Written by Bestselling Author Kathleen Ernst Published by Midnight Ink Books An Island’s History Holds Clues to a Modern Mystery Museum curator Chloe Ellefson jumps at the chance to spend time on Wisconsin’s Rock Island, a state park with no electricity or roads. On temporary assignment from Old World Wisconsin to consult on restoring the island’s historic lighthouse, her research turns up tough-as-nails women from the past. Chloe’s tranquility is spoiled when a dead woman washes ashore. Is it an accidental drowning, or has tension over tighter fishing regulations reached a dangerous boiling point? When a second body is found, Chloe finds herself trapped with a killer on remote Rock Island. Author Kathleen Ernst writes at the intersection of people, places, and the past. That is especially true of her award-winning Chloe Ellefson Historic Sites series. This guide has been developed to help readers locate and learn about the places where key scenes in The Light Keeper’s Legacy are set. All the locations in the book are real—and can be visited. The two main characters in the series are Chloe Ellefson and Roelke McKenna. They reside and work in the southeast corner of Wisconsin. Chloe lives in the rural farming community of LaGrange and works as curator of collections at Old World Wisconsin, a large outdoor history museum just south of the Village of Eagle. Roelke (pronounced Rell-key) lives in the nearby village of Palmyra, and is employed as an officer with the Eagle Police Department.

  • Wisconsin's Door Peninsula and Its Geomorphology
    WISCONSIN'S DOOR PENINSULA AND ITS GEOMORPHOLOGY Howard De II er AGS Collection, UW-Mllwaukee and Paul Stoelting University of Wisconsin-La Crosse The Door Peninsula of Wisconsin is one of the premier tourist regions of the American r~iddle West. According to a recent geography of Wisconsin (Vogeler et al 1986,8) , the region is best known for its picturesque sea­ scape, New England-style architecture, fish boils, and cherry orchards. Among geomorphologists, however, the region is known for the great variety of land­ form types and for the complex and changing geomorphological processes which have operated in the peninsula. Towering bluffs, sand dunes, lake terraces, abandoned beach ridges, swampy lowlands, and drumlin fields are only some of the many types of landforms to be found in the peninsula. Indeed, the region can be viewed as a unique geomorphological laboratory and an excellent example for classroom study. In this short paper an attempt is made to describe and analyze some of the more prominent landform features of the peninsula and the processes which have influenced their formation. LOCATION AND GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The Door Peninsula, located In northeastern Wisconsin. is part of the Eastern Ridges and Lowlands province of the state. The peninsula extends in a northeasterly direction into Lake Michigan to separate Green Bay on the west from the main body of Lake Michigan on the east. The peninsula is approximately 64 miles long and about 26 miles wide on its southern end, between the mouth of the Fox River and the city of Kewaunee on Lake Michigan (Map I).
