Book Description
Excerpt from Illustrated Annual Review of the Appleton Post, Devoted to the City of Appleton, Wisconsin, Its Water Power and Industries, 1899: Also an Historical Sketch of Fox River Valley History is among the most pleasing and entertaining of human studies. By it we become familiar with men and things, in ages long past, and live, as it were, from the beginning of time to the present hour. It embraces the biography of men and nations - their ups and downs - their rise and fall, detailing the incidents and events which have been, the changes which have occurred and the improvements which have taken place. And while those who are accustomed to study history are familiar with the past in foreign lands, but comparatively few are well informed on the early events and history of the locality in which they reside. Ancient history is chiefly made up of wars and sieges, battles and fights between nations and individuals, but modem history is, in great part, composed of the peaceful events of human progress the onward march of discovery, intelligence, commerce, the arts and sciences as applied to the general well being of the human family. The Aborigines. In other lands the ingenuity of man evolved from nature the means of putting their traditions and history in tangible form and transmitting them to posterity. In this land the untutored Savage not only failed to record the traditions and history of his race, but almost deemed it disrespect to talk of the dead. In the numerous tumuli and earthmarks, scattered all over the land, nothing has been discovered but human bones and arrow heads, indicating beyond doubt, the existence of a numerous and warlike people, and of that people the present race of Indians know nothing whatever. Even this latter race has almost entirely disappeared, and no record of them will remain except that which the white man preserves. They have withered and wilted before the march of civilization. They have drunk to the very dregs its vices, while they have shunned and resented its virtues. They are now a degraded and wretched people, a burden to themselves and the nation. Not so were they at the first coming of the white man. Then they were the brave warrior, the keen hunter, swift of foot and strong of limb - the relentless enemy, the unflinching friend, the guileless and untutored children of the forest. When the white man first visited Wisconsin, about the middle of the seventeenth century, the present limits of the State were principally occupied by two great tribes, the Menomonees and the Winnebagos.
