Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin Vol 1

Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin Vol 1, edited by Lyman Copeland Draper and published in 1855, compiles early accounts of Wisconsin's pioneers and Native American inhabitants. Initiated in the 1850s, Draper solicited articles that reflect the experiences of those who lived in the territory shortly after its settlement. This volume features narratives from travelers in the 1700s and early 1800s, providing valuable insights into the state's formative years and the lives of its early settlers.
