Book excerpt: "The present volume is the third in the general series of the Wisconsin Counties, Prairies and Forest. The publication, in atlas format, of the so-called Town Studies was experimental and has had no successor in the Domesday series. The lead region study differs from the Four Wisconsin Counties in combining the history of an important extractive industry, lead mining, with the history of the development of agriculture. Unlike the previous study, also, which did not deal with the industrial cities of the lake shore located within the boundaries of the counties surveyed, this book takes account of the leading towns, non of them large, which have served the several communities. Special attention is directed to the article which appears as Appendix IV, prepared by professor Vernor C. Finch of the geography department, university of Wisconsin. Professor Finch, desiring to work out such a careful detail study of a typical farming district, devoted a large part of his summer vacation in 1928, with an assistant, to the Montfort area. His results are decidedly interesting and throw much light on the utilization of the land in the two contrasted types of terrain about which so much is said in the book proper-the rough lands of the north slope, and the prairies. Appendix II, "origin of the Wisconsin lead and zinc deposits," the work of a you Wisconsin and Harvard University geologist, Paul A. Schager, supplements and checks, in a thoroughgoing scientific survey of the region, what is written for laymen by a layman mainly in chapters II and VIII. The illustrations, it is believed, will constitute a welcome new feature of the Domesday publications. The index has been prepared by the assistant editor, Lilian Krueger. The publication was paid for out of the income from the Burrows Fund devoted to the Domesday Studies by action of the executive committee of the society."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisconsin Lead Region: Frontier Community The difficulty was more easily talked about than solved. Leading the miners was Henry Dodge, who had come over from Missouri and had led a militia company against the Winnebago. He had made strikes near Dodgeville late in November, 1827, and by January had taken out more than worth of lead. With two Negroes he was raising about pounds a day. Not only did he have a sound investment pay ing off, but Henry Dodge was a hard man to move anyway. Dodge had made a bargain with the Bear, a Winnebago chief, and then sold parts of his purchase to incoming miners. As news of the de posits spread, hundreds fiocked into the area. Some bought from Dodge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East of the Mississippi River, and just north of the Illinois-Wisconsin border, the soil was once fertile with huge deposits of lead and zinc. White men discovered these riches in the early 1800s, well before Wisconsin became a state in 1848. Miners, farmers, and merchants flocked to the region, some bringing along their families. Towns with names like Snake Digs, Cottonwood, and Etna grew very rapidly. Roads, bridges, and railroad tunnels soon connected these towns where schools, churches, and businesses developed. Today tourists are invited to visit museums, mines, and shops in the region to explore its colorful past.
