Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, Vol. 14 Although beyond the borders of our commonwealth, Mackinac is a focal point in the history of Wisconsin. Commanding the approaches to Lakes Superior and Michigan, it necessarily was, during the French and English domination, and the early years of American possession, - the period of the fur trade, - the political and military center of this region. The Editor has, in "The Story of Mackinac," sought to review the salient points in the picturesque career of that famous frontier stronghold, and to correct, it may be, some popular misconceptions thereof. In her "Reminiscences of Early Days on Mackinac Island," the late Mrs. Baird discourses, most charmingly, of men, women, and manners on the "beauteous isle," during her girlhood there - the second and third decades of the present century. The lively description of her bateau trip from Green Bay to Mackinac, in 1825, is a fresh and welcome contribution to the romantic side of Wisconsin history. Military life in Territorial Wisconsin must have possessed a certain charm to all who participated in it. Mrs. Kinzie, in Wau-bun, and Mrs. Van Cleve, in Three Score Years and Ten, have given us, in sprightly manner, vivid pictures of garrison life at the early Wisconsin forts, which our historians are fond of reproducing. We are glad to be able, in this volume, to furnish new material in that field. In his "History of Fort Winnebago," A. J. Turner presents the result of a special study of the fortunes of this old-time wilderness post, and has marshalled before us the many notable men and women who are connected with its story.
