The tenth volume of the Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin closed the First Series. While, therefore, the present might properly have been styled Volume I. of the Second Series, it has been deemed best to continue the numbering in order to avoid confusion on the part of those having occasion to make citations. But while there has been Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Volume 11 http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.7689a Library of Congress no change in numbering, it will be seen that this inauguration of the Second Series has been observed by many changes in typographical style and make-up. It will be noticed, also, that the entire volume has been reserved for Collections, the Annual Proceedings being issued in pamphlet form as a separate publication. The recent rapid accumulation of materials for the making of Wisconsin history has rendered necessary the devotion of all available space to the purpose of their presentation, and such will hereafter be the editorial policy. The contents of Volume XI. will be found to cover a wide field of interest, ranging through two and a half centuries of Wisconsin growth. M. Jouan's article on “Jean Nicolet” gives all available information relative to the lineage, early life and domestic relations of the first white discoverer of the Northwest. This contribution, reinforced by Mr. Butterfield's “Bibliography of Jean Nicolet,” and papers in previous volumes of Collections, appears to exhaust the subject.

  • The Fur Trade of the Western Great Lakes Region
    THE FUR TRADE OF THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION IN 1685 THE BARON DE LAHONTAN wrote that ^^ Canada subsists only upon the Trade of Skins or Furrs, three fourths of which come from the People that live round the great Lakes." ^ Long before tbe little French colony on tbe St. Lawrence outgrew Its swaddling clothes the savage tribes­ men came in their canoes, bringing with them the wealth of the western forests. In the Ohio Valley the British fur trade rested upon the efficacy of the pack horse; by the use of canoes on the lakes and river systems of the West, the red men delivered to New France furs from a country unknown to the French. At first the furs were brought to Quebec; then Montreal was founded, and each summer a great fair was held there by order of the king over the water. Great flotillas of western Indians arrived to trade with the Europeans. A similar fair was held at Three Rivers for the northern Algonquian tribes. The inhabitants of Canada constantly were forming new settlements on the river above Montreal, says Parkman, ... in order to intercept the Indians on their way down, drench them with brandy, and get their furs from them at low rates in ad­ vance of the fair. Such settlements were forbidden, but not pre­ vented. The audacious " squatter" defied edict and ordinance and the fury of drunken savages, and boldly planted himself in the path of the descending trade. Nor is this a matter of surprise; for he was usually the secret agent of some high colonial officer.^ Upon arrival in Montreal, all furs were sold to the com­ pany or group of men holding the monopoly of the fur trade from the king of France.

THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction.

  • Voices of La Crosse: Ho-Chunk Tour
    VOICES OF LA CROSSE HISTORY TOURS USING HEAR, HERE STORIES Ho-Chunk History: From Ancestral Stewards to Modern Activists Land Recognition Statement This tour takes place on the occupied ancestral lands of the Ho-Chunk, who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. The city of La Crosse occupies land that was once a prairie that was home to a band of Ho-Chunk. In 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in attempt to forcibly and often violently remove Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands located east of the Mississippi River to occupied territory west of the river. Throughout the 1830s and 1840s, the Federal Government conducted a series of six attempts to forcibly remove local Ho-Chunk by steamboat via the Mississippi River to reservations in Iowa, northern Minnesota, southwest Minnesota, South Dakota, and finally to Nebraska. The historic steamboat landing where this took place is now Spence Park in downtown La Crosse. However, many of La Crosse’s Ho-Chunk found their way back to their homeland here in La Crosse. and eventually the federal and local governments moved on to new strategies to eradicate Indigenous folks and culture from the newly established United States of America. As of 2016, Wisconsin was home to over 8,000 members of the Ho-Chunk Nation, about 230 of whom live in La Crosse County. Introduction This tour is part of the Voices of La Crosse History Tours, a collaborative project between the La Crosse Library Archives & Local History Department (LPLA), UW-La Crosse (UWL), and Hear, Here.

However, there is a lack of field studies on the impact of these structures on flow dynamics and bed topography. The objective of this research is to characterize flow dynamics and sediment transport around paired deflectors used to enhance fish habitat in the Nicolet River (Qc). Bed and bank topography surveys were taken with a total station, and velocity and bed shear stress estimates were obtained from an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter. Bedload sediment transport was assessed by two methods: tracer rocks (painted particles and PIT tags) and sediment traps. Results show marked differences in bedload sediment transport patterns between the left and the right bank downstream of the deflectors.

  • Famous Cases of the Wisconsin Supreme Court
    In Re: Booth 3 Wis. 1 (1854) What has become known as the Booth case is actually a series of decisions from the Wisconsin Supreme Court beginning in 1854 and one from the U.S. Supreme Court, Ableman v. Booth, 62 U.S. 514 (1859), leading to a final published decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in Ableman v. Booth, 11 Wis. 501 (1859). These decisions reflect Wisconsin’s attempted nullification of the federal fugitive slave law, the expansion of the state’s rights movement and Wisconsin’s defiance of federal judicial authority. The Wisconsin Supreme Court in Booth unanimously declared the Fugitive Slave Act (which required northern states to return runaway slaves to their masters) unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned that decision but the Wisconsin Supreme Court refused to file the U.S. Court’s mandate upholding the fugitive slave law. That mandate has never been filed. When the U.S. Constitution was drafted, slavery existed in this country. Article IV, Section 2 provided as follows: No person held to service or labor in one state under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due. Based on this provision, Congress in 1793 passed a law that permitted the owner of any runaway slave to arrest him, take him before a judge of either the federal or state courts and prove by oral testimony or by affidavit that the person arrested owed service to the claimant under the laws of the state from which he had escaped; if the judge found the evidence to be sufficient, the slave owner could bring the fugitive back to the state from which he had escaped.

The LES emphasizes Competency 2 by the very nature of its title, although the other two competencies are also present. 3. The heading of each unit consists of one or two guiding questions. The students are expected to answer these guiding questions after scaffolding has been done through a series of activities that continuously increase in difficulty and sophistication as they unfold. These guiding questions embrace the whole concept under discussion, so view them as complex tasks. 4. The evaluation tools are found at the end of this Teacher’s Guide. They are to be used at the teacher’s discretion. 5. The bibliography is unfortunately limited to everyday life during the periods in question. English works on societal change between 1745 and 1820 are nonexistent.

    Liva 1 – The First Medieval Sámi Site with Rectangular Hearths in Murmansk Oblast (Russia) Anton I. Murashkin & Evgeniy M. Kolpakov Anton I. Murashkin, Department of Archaeology, St Petersburg State University, Mendeleyevskaya linya 5, RU-199034 St Petersburg, Russia: [email protected], [email protected] Evgeniy M. Kolpakov, Department of Palaeolithic, Institute for the History of Material Culture, Russian Academy of Sciences, Dvortsovaya nab. 18, RU-191186 St Petersburg, Russia: [email protected] Abstract In 2017–2018, the Kola Archaeological Expedition of the Institute of the History of Material Culture (IHMC) RAS carried out excavations at the medieval site of Liva 1 (a hearth-row site) in the Kovdor District of Murmansk Oblast. Sites of this type are fairly well studied in the western part of Sapmi – the area inhabited by the Sámi – but until now they have not been known in Russia. The site was found by local residents in 2010. Some of the structures there were destroyed or damaged when searching for artefacts with a metal detector. A total of nine archaeological structures have been discovered (7 rectangular stone hearths, 1 mound, 1 large pit). Four hearths were excavated. They are of rectangular shape, varying in size from 2.0 x 1.15 to 2.5 x 1.7 metres. The fireplaces are lined with large stone blocks in one course, and the central part is filled with small stones in 2–3 layers. Animal bones, occasionally forming concentrations, were found near the hearths. Throughout the area of the settle- ment, numerous iron objects (tools or their fragments) and bronzes were collected including ornaments made in manufacturing centres of Old Rus’, Scandinavia and the Baltic countries.
