JUNIUS T. HOOPER, HENRY S. BUTLER CURATORS WHO DIED IN 1938 HENRY SIGOURNEY BUTLER FEANCIS H. DEGROAT N 1883 Henry Sigourney Butler located at Superior, Wis- I consin, then a village, for the practice of his profession, the law. Completion of locks around the rapids in St. Marys river at the 'Soo,' enabling navigation from the lower lakes; and the project of a railroad from Lake Superior to Puget sound, led to the vision that the head of Lake Superior would become a great commercial and industrial gateway, which previously, for several decades, had been only an outpost of John Jacob Astor's American fur company and its pred- ecessors. Upon extinguishment of the Indian title to the region in 1854, throwing open the lands to settlement, some of the foremost men in the nation, prominent in business and public life, including W. W. Corcoran, a Washington banker, donor of the Corcoran art gallery; several United States senators; members of the president's cabinet; mem- bers of congress; and financiers, joined forces to promote and develop a townsite at the most favorable location, and to press for federal influence in securing appropriations for harbor improvements and public surveys, and, as well, to further the scheme for such a railroad. Advance agents se- lected and acquired a vast area, laying out a townsite there- on, of which the promoters styled themselves the 'Proprietors of the Townsite of Superior.' A small settlement was made, but the panic of 1857, the Civil war, and the period of 'hard times' following in the early seventies distracted attention from that ambitious undertaking. However, in the early eighties, the unrivaled advantages of Superior's location received revived interest. Construe- 254 Francis H. DeGroat [March tion of the Northern Pacific railroad had been undertaken westward from Oarlton, in Minnesota, situated above the falls of the St. Louis river, dividing the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Working likewise eastward from Puget sound the line was completed in the fall of 1883. At the time of Mr. Butler's arrival, the Northern Pacific railroad company had gained entrance to Superior as an eastern terminus; and also had in prospect an extension of its line eastward to Ashland, Wisconsin, on the south shore of take Superior, to earn its congressional land grant. As ari inducement thereto the 'Proprietors' had given the rail- road company, as a bonus, approximately one half of their land holdings. Very early after his arrival, Mr. Butler was engaged in behalf of the railroad company in clearing up and perfecting titles to the extensive properties donated, and in procuring rights of way for entrance to the yards and wharves, and the extension eastward. The 'Proprietors' having held their interests in 'undi- vided 27thy it is noteworthy that W. W. Corcoran held an undivided ll/27thB interest in the townsite which, aside from This own shares, he held 'in trust' for several United States senators and others, then prominent in public life, namely, two shares for Stephen A. Douglas, United States senator from Illinois (who bestowed his name upon the new county carved to embrace Superior); one share for John C. Breck- inridge, United States senator from Kentucky; one share for William A. Richardson, United States senator from Ill- inois; two shares for Jesse D. Bright, United States senator from Indiana; and also fractional shares for others of less note, as congressmen and federal officials. Some future his- torian may find in this a commentary on the politics of the time. To relieve the difficulties attending partition among so many owners, a corporation, Superior consolidated land 1939] Henry Sigourney Butler 255 company, was organized in 1889, with a capital stock of $3,600,000, issued in exchange for the interests of the 'Pro- prietors/ their grantees, assigns and donees, which consoli- dated all of the interests concerned, and of which Henry S. Butler became secretary and general counsel. On coming to Superior, he found Charles L. Catlin, who had lately been private secretary to Caleb Cushing, repre- sentative in congress from Massachusetts, similarly em- ployed as attorney for the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railway company (a subsidiary of the Chicago and Northwestern railway company), which also had sought entrance to Superior. About 1885 the two formed a partner- ship styled 'Catlin & Butler/ and forthwith, because of their connections, entered upon an extensive practice, numbering among their clients the two railways mentioned, of which they were local counsel; and also, shortly afterward, the Duluth south shore and Atlantic railway company, which had projected a line from Duluth to the 'Soo'; large landed interests (among which were those of Frederick Billings, at the time president of the Northern Pacific railroad com- pany, later incorporated as the Billings estate corporation, managed by Mr. Butler until his death); grain elevator companies, flour mills, banks, and lumber companies; in short, most of the enterprises established in a rapidly grow- ing city and the surrounding territory. In the mid-eighties a rival townsite, known as the townsite of West Superior, was organized by General John H. Hammond, backed by James J. Hill, and a number of wealthy New York residents (one of the investors in which was the father of President Franklin D. Roosevelt). The firm of Catlin & Butler being retained in that behalf, it fell largely to Mr. Butler, because of his experience, to see to the acquisition of properties, the litigation of disputed titles, and so on, in aid of the project. 256 Francis H. DeGrout [Mareh In 1889 the rival sections were united and incorporated as the city of Superior. The discovery and development of the near-by iron ranges in Minnesota brought to the firm large and valuable interests to be dealt with; connections with which, as counsel, Mr. Butler maintained till death. In 1891 the firm's practice had so extended that the need of assistance was felt, and Carl C. Pope, a southern Wis- consin lawyer, joined, under the style of 'Catlin & Butler & Carl C. Pope.' Colonel Pope retired in 1894, and in the mid-nineties Thomas E. Lyons, a distinguished member of the Wisconsin bar, joined the firm re-styled 'Catlin, Butler & Lyons/ who remained until his appointment in 1911 as a member of the Wisconsin tax commission. Mr. Catlin died in 1901, but the surviving partners con- tinued the firm name until Mr. Lyons withdrew. After this Mr. Butler, with the aid of office assistants, continued alone, until advancing years made necessary taking a partner to shoulder old, as well as new, responsibilities. In 1933, L. R. MePherson, a former city attorney, united with him, under the style of 'Butler & McPherson/ which firm continued un- til Mr.

  • Our County, Our Story; Portage County, Wisconsin
    Our County Our Story PORTAGE COUNTY WISCONSIN BY Malcolm Rosholt Charles M. White Memorial Public LibrarJ PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STEVENS POINT, \VISCONSIN 1959 Copyright, 1959, by the PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AT WORZALLA PUBLISHING COMPANY STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN FOREWORD With the approach of the first frost in Portage County the leaves begin to fall from the white birch and the poplar trees. Shortly the basswood turns yellow and the elm tree takes on a reddish hue. The real glory of autumn begins in October when the maples, as if blushing in modesty, turn to gold and crimson, and the entire forest around is aflame with color set off against deeper shades of evergreens and newly-planted Christmas trees. To me this is the most beautiful season of the year. But it is not of her beauty only that I write, but of her colorful past, for Portage County is already rich in history and legend. And I share, in part, at least, the conviction of Margaret Fuller who wrote more than a century ago that "not one seed from the past" should be lost. Some may wonder why I include the names listed in the first tax rolls. It is part of my purpose to anchor these names in our history because, if for no other reas­ on, they were here first and there can never be another first. The spellings of names and places follow the spellings in the documents as far as legibility permits. Some no doubt are incorrect in the original entry, but the major­ ity were probably correct and since have changed, which makes the original entry a matter of historic significance.

  • Satterlee Clark's Perilous Journey Black Hawk
    SATTERLEE CLARK'S PERILOUS JOURNEY Satterlee Clark and Peter Pauquette acted as scouts during the Winnebago war, and the former played perhaps the most important part in securing the troops from General Atkinson, the chief officer in command, which perhaps averted a massacre of the thirty men remaining in Fort Winnebago, with several women and children. Mr. Clark's account of his adventures is simple and graphic: "In 1831, in violation of a treaty stipulation, the Sauk and Fox Indians, under Black Hawk and the Prophet, crossed the Mississippi into Illinois. Black Hawk was a Fox Indian and the Prophet was a Winnebago, who, with a small band, became discontented and left the Winnebagoes, joining the Sauk and Fox tribes among whom they had intermarried. General Atkinson was ordered to remove them. They offered to go back and remain for 60,000 bushels of corn, and as corn was only five cents a bushel he gave it to them and they retired. "The following summer, thinking to get 60,000 bushels of corn quite easily, they again crossed the river and again General Atkinson was ordered, to remove them. Instead of buying corn of them, he ordered all of the available troops into the field, and the President ordered out the Illinois militia under the command of General Henry and General Alexander, all under the command of General Atkinson. The Indians started up Fox River pursued by the troops, committing occasional depredations as they went along. After they got into Wisconsin the troops lost track of them, and General Atkinson continued up Rock River to where the village of Fort Atkinson stands, where he established his headquarters and built a temporary fort.

  • The Logistics of the United States Army, 1812–1821 A
    THE LOGISTICS OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY, 1812–1821 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Jean-Pierre Beugoms December 2018 Examining Committee Members: Gregory J. W. Urwin, Advisory Chair, History Jay B. Lockenour, History Seth C. Bruggeman, History Samuel J. Watson, External Member, United States Military Academy, History © Copyright 2018 by Jean-Pierre Beugoms All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The acquisition and transportation of supplies for the U.S. Army proved to be the most intractable military problem of the War of 1812. Logistics became the bane of successive secretaries of war and field commanders, and of the soldiers who fought the British and Canadian troops, and their native allies. Historians have correctly ascribed the failure of American arms to achieve its principal war aim, the conquest of Canada, to the dysfunctional logistical and supply system. The suffering of soldiers who received subpar food and clothing, and experienced a shortage of weapons, ammunition, and fuel, moreover, are a staple of the historical literature on the war. Although this dissertation analyzes the causes and consequences of the breakdown in logistics, it also focuses on the lesser-known story of how the Corps of Quartermasters made logistics work under difficult conditions. It investigates how the military professionals within the officer corps drew lessons from their wartime travails and made common cause with reform-minded civilians in the hope of creating a better logistical system. Their combined efforts led to the postwar reform drive that gave the U.S.

  • The United States' Indian Allies in the Black
    FRIENDS LIKE THESE: THE UNITED STATES’ INDIAN ALLIES IN THE BLACK HAWK WAR, 1832 by John William Hall A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2007 Advisor: R. Don Higginbotham Reader: Joseph T. Glatthaar Reader: Michael D. Green Reader: Richard H. Kohn Reader: Theda Perdue © 2007 John William Hall ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JOHN W. HALL: Friends Like These: The United States’ Indian Allies in the Black Hawk War, 1832 (Under the direction of R. Don Higginbotham.) “Friends Like These” examines the decision by elements of the Menominee, Dakota, Potawatomi, and Ho Chunk tribes to ally with the United States government during the Black Hawk War of 1832. Because this conflict is usually depicted as a land- grab by ravenous settlers and the war occurred within two years of the passage of the Indian Removal Act, the military participation of these tribes seems incongruous. This work seeks to determine why various bands of these tribes cooperated with the U.S. Army when such alliance seemed inimical to the interests of their respective tribes. Moreover, it explores the extent to which the Americans conceived of themselves as allies to the Indians while assessing the consequences of this alliance for each of the tribes involved. This study finds that the Indians participated in the Black Hawk War to fulfill their own wartime objectives, and that in so doing they sought to apply familiar forms to the new situation that unfolded in the years after the War of 1812.

My reason or excuse, whichever it may be, is this: In talking with the younger members of the bar of the state I have often been forcibly struck with the fact that many of them had little or no idea of the remarkable men who sat upon the supreme bench during the early years of the state, nor of the heated controversies, political as well as legal, in which the court and its judges were in one way or another involved during those years. With the idea of doing something to dispel this ignorance, I began to prepare a paper covering the early history of the court, intending to publish it in pam phlet form.
