Volume 1. By G. W. Featherstonhaugh ... http://www.loc.gov/resource/ lhbum.6643a Library of Congress INTRODUCTION. The criticism of the Public is sometimes deprecated by travelled Authors, upon the plea that their original notes were not made with a view to publication. Without claiming any indulgence upon this ground, the writer of the following pages can truly state, that they are almost literally transcribed from the Journals he kept during the period of his observations; and he hopes that he may claim some confidence upon this point, since it is obvious, that, if he had been particularly anxious to appear as an Author, he would scarcely have permitted so many years to elapse before presenting his narratives to the public; for ten years had already passed away when his “Excursions through the Slave States” were published, and this “Canoe Voyage” was commenced the same year that those Excursions terminated.

  • Native American Heritage
    Journey through Wisconsin Dells’ Rich Native American Heritage Long before the first boat embarked on a tour, even before the arrival of the hard-working lumber raftsmen who made their living on the Wisconsin River, others lived out their days in Wisconsin Dells. For hundreds of years, Native Americans made this area their home and it is their culture, history and intriguing legends that helped shape this region. The Ho-Chunk tribe, known for many years as the Winnebago, played a significant role in the history of the Dells area and was even partly responsible for its name. The river itself they called “Meskousing” or “Misconsing,” which historians have come to believe means “River of Red Stone” or “River of the Great Rock.” Over time, explorers, writers and map makers have given the name various spellings. In the end, the most common was Ouisconsin, which eventually took on a uniquely American spelling of Wisconsin. French explorers and fur traders called the area the “Dalles” which means “flat, layered rock.” Eventually the two names merged to become Wisconsin Dells. One of the most famous Ho-Chunk members is Yellow Thunder, who through his “refusal policy” emerged as the most important leader of the tribe. In 1837, the Ho-Chunk were coerced into signing a treaty relinquishing their Wisconsin lands and setting into motion the U.S. government’s “removal policy” in which Native Americans were moved to an area west of the Mississippi River. Four times, between 1844 and 1873, U.S. troops came to Wisconsin Dells, rounded up the Ho-Chunk, and moved them west.

My purpose was not to declare Brissot guilty of spying for the police but rather to understand him and the milieu in which he wrote. Out of that attempt grew a general thesis about Grub Street as an ingredient in prerevolutionary France, which in turn fits into the larger effort to develop a social history of ideas. I would like to take de Luna's essay as an opportunity to discuss some of those larger issues. But first I had better return to the case of Brissot. I started to study Brissot's career in 1960, while doing research on The Gallo-American Society, a Bachelor of Philosophy thesis at Ox- ford, which I completed two years later. At that time, I saw Brissot very much as de Luna sees him now.

Merriwether, 27th July, 1861. Mr. Editor:--Believing that if the several counties of our State, would occasionally compare notes, through the medium of the public press, that much dormant patriotism would be awakened, and generous emulation excited, I have concluded to send you a line from old Merriwether. Yet this is not all. The handsome sum of fifteen hundred dollars was raised for each of these companies that have gone, and ample provision has been made by the county for the maintenance of the families of these soldiers whose circumstances required assistance. The farmers have, moreover, subscribed largely to the Confederate loan; and the ladies are now banding themselves into Relief Societies; they are spinning and weaving cloth, making all sorts of garments, and knitting socks for our brave boys.

  • 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.
