The Discovery Of Wisconsin
This transcribed 19th-century history traces Wisconsin’s early exploration and settlement, from Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain to Jean Nicolet, Joliet and Marquette, La Salle, Hennepin, and French missions and fur trade posts. It also covers conflict with Native nations, British control, territorial changes, and Wisconsin’s path to statehood in 1848 under Governor Nelson Dewey.
