Kewaunee County, Wisconsin

New! 16 Page Booklet

Early days in Kewaunee County, WI, are recalled through a mixture of colorful tales, historic data and individual biographies in this meaty little 8 1/2" x 11" spiral-bound booklet, printed single-sided on 60 # opaque paper. The front cover is a parchtex card stock, protected with a vinyl sheet. The information comes from a rare 1881 book, entitled History of Northern Wisconsin. We've enlarged the county on a state map from the original book, and included it along with two other maps of historic interest.

Communities currently listed for this area by the National Association of Counties include: Ahnapee, Algoma, Carlton, Casco, Franklin, Kewaunee (County Seat), Lincoln, Luxemburg, Montpelier, Pierce, Red River, Rio Creek, West Kewaunee. (Some towns may not be mentioned in the booklet.)

Among the many subjects included are: Location and Natural Advantages, Property Valuation; Civil War Record; Political boundaries and elections; Gold Rush Speculation and Kewaunee vs. Chicago; John Volk, Joseph McCormick, and other early settlers; Churches, Schools, Organizations; and other interesting bits of history and trivia.

Attention Genealogists: This booklet contains biographies of many county residents of the late 1800s.
