    STATISTICS: HISTORY 675 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

SMITH MADISON STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WISCONSIN 1944 Copyright 1944 State Historical Society of Wisconsin Madison One thousand copies of this Guide have been printed in types similar to those designed by Claude Garamond (d. 1561) on Dresden Pamphlet Book paper by Hammersmith-Kortmeyer Co. of Milwaukee £]$, l4Lo£> fljUAAt-. OKoJllS- FOREWORD Wherever American historical manuscripts are known, there the Wisconsin Historical Society is known too. Such a statement can be made chiefly because of the work of that pioneer collector, Lyman C. Draper, who served as the first executive of the Society. Dr. Draper, before he came to Wisconsin in 1852, had collected manuscripts in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, the Carolinas, and other parts of the Old West. He sometimes actually risked his neck to obtain them, traveling more than 60,000 miles, often through rugged wilderness, on horseback, in stagecoach or lumber wagon, by steamboat, or even afoot. The Draper Manuscripts came to the Society by bequest upon his death in 1891. Dr. Draper's respect and love for manuscripts have been shared by the staff of the Society since his day, and the state of Wisconsin, having become conscious of the value of bringing together the raw materials of her history, has furnished a fireproof building, ample equipment for preserving the manuscripts, and an adequate staff to make them available.

Alliant Energy for Authority to Construct a New Coal- fired Electric Generation Unit Known as the Nelson 6680-CE-170 Dewey Generating Station in Cassville, Grant County, Wisconsin Commentor Information: Name: Shauna Cook Address: 1025 Havey Rd. City: Madison State:WI Zip:53704 E-mail: [email protected] Comment: Now is the time for Wisconsin to invest in renewable energy solutions and to stop using old, dirty coal to power our future. No matter how much coal plants are "improved" or "scrubbed" - they still use dirty coal imported from outside Wisconsin. Let's be smart about meeting future energy needs and use renewable sources like wind and solar, and invest in efficiencies in homes and buildings. The thought of building another coal plant along the beautiful Mississippi River is just not necessary when cleaner alternatives are available. I affirm that these comments are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
