Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Wisconsin, in Three Parts, Historical, Documentary, Vol. 1: Compiled by Direction of the Legislature of the State The object of the present work is sufficiently apparent from its title; the cause and manner of its having been undertaken by the compiler may deserve explanation. In January, 1849, the "State Historical Society of Wisconsin" was formed, through the efforts of a few citizens, whose sanguine anticipations of immediate successful results were unfortunately disappointed. Beyond two annual addresses, the first by the compiler, the second by the Honourable Morgan L. Martin, both by appointments of the Society, no practical labours in the region of Wisconsin history were laid before its annual meetings; indeed, the Society appeared to languish, and all attempts to restore energy to it, or to render it of utility to the State, in conformity with its original design, appeared fruitless. By the constitution of the Society, the governor of the State was ex-officio its president. Soon after the inauguration of Governor Farwell, in 1852, the compiler was much gratified to find, from conversations with his excellency, how deep an interest he felt in all which, in any degree, related to the development of the actual condition and resources of the State of Wisconsin.
