THE MAKING OF PIONEER WISCONSIN: VOICES OF EARLY SETTLERS with author, Michael E. Stevens
More than a half million people settled in Wisconsin from md1830's through the 1850s. The Making of Pioneer Wisconsin provides a unique and intimate glimpse into the lives of these early settlers, as they describe what it felt like to be a teenager in a wagon headed west or an isolated young wife living far from her friends and family. Woven together with context provided by historian Michael E. Stevens, these first person accounts form a fascinating narrative that deepens our ability to understand and empathize with Wisconsin's early pioneers.
