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.

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.

  • Charles Michel De Langlade. (1729-1802)
    Charles Michel de Langlade. (1729-1802) Langlade was born in May 1729 at Mackinac, Michigan, the son of Augustin Mouet de Moras dit Langlade, a French fur trader at Michilimackinac, and Domitilde, an Ottawa woman. His mother was the sister of Nissowaquet, an Ottawa Chief who was called La Fourche by the French. Charles was educated by the Jesuits at Mackinac and might have studied at Montreal as well. At the age of ten years, he began his military reputation by accompanying his uncle on a war party against the Chickasaw. This happened because La Fourche had dreamt that he would only succeed if he took his nephew with him. Langlade’s father apparently moved a substantial part of his operation to La Baye (now Wisconsin) in 1746 after the Fox Wars. In his teens, Langlade received training in the French colonial forces. During the late 1740s, tensions were rising between the French and English, particularly in the Ohio Valley. After a run in with La Demoiselle, a pro-British chief, Langlade (already a cadet in French service) recruited his friend, Chief Pontiac, to mount a campaign against La Demoiselle. In June of 1872, they attacked with 250 Ottawa and Chippewa warriors, torched the village and killed La Demoiselle and an English trader, after which they ate them. Governor Duquesne recommended to the French Foreign Minister that Langlade receive a reward of a 200 livres pension in recognition of his victory. He was also appointed as Indian Agent for the Western tribes. In 1750, Charles married Agathe, an Ottawa woman.

    Department of History University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire The Fox Wars and the Fur Empire: French and Native Campaigns against the Fox in the Great Lakes Region: 1701-1712 By Oliver Anklam History 489 Research Capstone Professor: Oscar Chamberlain Cooperating Professor: Andrew Sturtevant December 16, 2014 Copyright for this work is owned by the author. This digital version is published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin Eau Claire with the consent of the author. 1 Abstract At the turn of the 18th century King Louis XIV of France ordered a reduction of trading posts throughout North America and narrowed the locations to New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago, and Detroit.1 Detroit served as the base of settlement for thousands of natives, including eventually the Fox and their Mesquakie allies. Shortly thereafter fighting broke out among natives and France was caught in the crossfire. The goal of New France was to sustain a relationship with the natives in order to engage in trade. However, France is forced to choose between aiding the Fox or their enemies. French officials became embroiled in hostile Indian politics that left the leadership with little choice but to aid in the elimination of the Fox instead of losing the powerful Native allies who threatened violence for any hospitality given to the Fox or their allies; French officials chose the former. French correspondence of the war serves as the main research base for this paper, along with the works of several credited historians. 1 Robert Bieder, Native American Communities in Wisconsin: 1600-1960 (Madison: Univeristy of Wisconsin Press, 1995), 51.

    Book Reviews The Middle Ground: Indians, Empires, and Republics in the Great Lakes Region, 1650-1815. By Richard White. (Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 1991. Pp. xvi, 544. Maps, notes, illustrations, chart, tables, index. Clothbound, $69.50; paperbound, $19.95.) Sweeping in scope, and comprehensive in content, this survey of Indian-white relations in the Great Lakes and northern Ohio Valley investigates the interaction between the tribes and the French, British, and Americans and asserts that the French and Indians intially created a “middle ground,” a relationship encom- passing political, economic, and social ties maintained “through rituals and ceremonials based on cultural parallels and congruen- cies, inexact and artificial as they originally may have been” (p. 93). Richard White argues that throughout the French period, although “European goods had become an integral part of Algon- quian life” (p. 1401, the tribes were not materially dependent upon them, and the exchange of commodities through the fur trade re- flected political and ceremonial obligations as much as economic necessity. In turn, the political relationship between the French and most of the tribes was based upon Algonquian concepts of fa- therhood, although the French unsuccessfully attempted to incor- porate the tribes into a more conventional European political alliance. Not surprisingly, in the decades following the French and In- dian War this middle ground suffered considerable erosion. British officials refused to participate in the distribution of gifts and the ceremonialism that characterized the French-Indian relationship, while British settlers, who intruded into the upper Ohio Valley, “did not believe their lives depended upon good relations with In- dians” (p.

  • 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.
