Download or read book Frenchtown Chronicles of Prairie du Chien written by Mary Elise Antoine and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Coryer, the grandson of a fur trade voyageur-turned-farmer, had a gift for storytelling. Born in 1877, he grew up in Prairie du Chien hearing tales of days gone by from his parents, grandparents, and neighbors who lived in the Frenchtown area. Throughout his life, Albert soaked up the local oral traditions, including narratives about early residents, local landmarks, interesting and funny events, ethnic customs, myths, and folklore. Late in life, this lively man who had worked as a farm laborer and janitor drew a detailed illustrated map of the Prairie du Chien area and began to write his stories out longhand, in addition to sharing them in an interview with a local historian and folklore scholar. The map, stories, and interview transcript provide a colorful account of Prairie du Chien in the late nineteenth century, when it was undergoing significant demographic, social, and economic change. With sharp historical context provided by editors Lucy Eldersveld Murphy and Mary Elise Antoine, Coryer’s tales offer an unparalleled window into the ethnic community comprised of the old fur trade families, Native Americans, French Canadian farmers, and their descendants.

Download or read book Prairie Du Chien written by Peter Lawrence Scanlan and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Prairie du Chien is the history of the Mississippi Frontier in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Native Americans gathered on the prairie to engage in the fur trade, French explorers built a fort to house the furs and trade goods, British traders and American soldiers competed and battled for control of the prairie, and here Black Hawk surrendered in 1832. Though written in 1937, "Prairie du Chien: French, British, American" still stands as the most definitive work on Wisconsin's second oldest community. Republished by the Prairie du Chien Historical Society.

Download or read book Tales of Old Prairie Du Chien written by Marianne Luban and published by Pacific Moon Publications. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prairie du Chien, the second oldest settlement in the state of Wisconsin, is permeated with history. In fact, the past often seems stronger than the present. Being there is like navigating between two dimensions. Just where does the past end? Is it ever really over? Pieces of it can still be seen and touched. It's not altogether an illusion. The stories of those who once lived at Prairie du Chien, gleaned from dusty old volumes and yellowed newspaper clippings, are fascinating. There are beautiful girls and their dashing officers, colorful fur traders, and widows with more money than luck. There are seemingly successful merchants struggling with inner demons and other citizens who managed to become legends in their own lifetimes, some of those being extraordinarily long. The 19th Century was not an easy period in which to exist, especially on a frontier where there were still hostile Indians and lawless neighbors too willing to settle scores with a gun.

Download or read book Legendary Locals of Prairie du Chien written by Mary Elise Antoine and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the day Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet entered the Mississippi River in 1673, fur traders, and then settlers, were drawn to Prairie du Chien. Red Bird and Black Hawk opposed American expansionism, while Zachary Taylor enforced the change. John Muir admired the majesty of the Mississippi River, and John Lawler accepted the challenge to bridge the waters. As people came to Prairie du Chien, generations worked to form a small, cohesive community. Some, like George and Dorothy Jeffers, Ralph and Albina Kozelka, Henry Howe, and Frank Stark, began businesses that descendants continue to operate. John Peacock and Mike Valley found a livelihood from the river. Art Frydenlund, Jim Bittner, and Fred LaPointe promoted and encouraged all to come. B.A. Kennedy and Jack Mulrooney created an outstanding educational and sports program. Peter Scanlan and Cal Peters recorded the rich history. Roy and Geraldine George established the George Family Foundation, and Morris MacFarlane led a movement to create scholarships. Lori Knapp helped disabled people without realizing her impact. Politician Patrick Lucey and cowgirl Elaine Kramer gained national recognition. All these people and others, like Dr. T.F. Farrell and Robert Garrity, were neighbors. Their stories fill these pages.
