  • Under Raduate Geography Colloquium 2009
    Under raduate Geography Colloquium 2009 .. .. Introduction The French had a significant influence on the settlement of the United States, impacting city planning, land divisions, architecture, religion and many other aspects of life. Coming to the United States in search of trade and land, they spread their culture and heritage via the establishment of trade routes, particularly through the economics of the Great Fur Trade and in rare instances fanning communities. In Wisconsin there too exists a French legacy. Many settlements throughout the state bear French names, specifically those scattered along or near the Mississippi River such as La Crosse, Trempealeau, Prairie du Chien, and Platteville. We focus our case study on the rise and fall of French influence in the settlement of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, located just north of the Mississippi and Wisconsin confluence. The purpose of this study is to understand the French settler's impacts, if any, on the cityscape and traditions of Prairie du Chien. Furthennore, we will assess how those impacts and traditions transcended time through architecture, land distribution, toponymy, and festivals. The story of Wisconsin and the settlement of Prairie du Chien is perhaps so intriguing because it is the story of ''the Americanization of a French settlement," a process coined in 1908 by Rueben Thwaites. Beginning with the first French expeditions ofJoliette and Marquette to the area in 1673, the French settlement and its socioeconomic structures flourished and therefore remained unchanged for nearly two full centuries. Following the war of 1812, the Americans for the first time take possession of Prairie du Chien and consequently started its Americanization through the incorporation of the area into the United States and with it changing land use patterns.
