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.

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.
