Paperback. Condizione: Good. Just above the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers lies a 9-mile prairie whose beauty and location have long drawn people to its expanse. At this traditional gathering place of Native Americans, French explorers and fur traders stored trade goods and celebrated on the prairie, in time building homes at la Prairie des Chiens. American soldiers constructed a fort here, at the entrance to the upper Mississippi Valley, to secure the region for settlement. Wave upon wave of people arrived in Prairie du Chien by steamboat and railroad, and by 1900, a bustling city had spread across the plain. But the French heritage and majestic beauty of the river endured. After World War I, tourists came to drift along the banks of the Mississippi, climb the steep bluffs surrounding the prairie, and sample the Friday night fish fries. Wisconsin s second-oldest community, Prairie du Chien retains the attraction that drew the first explorers to its shores.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. In The War of 1812 in Wisconsin, author Mary Elise Antoine brings a little-known corner of Wisconsin s history to life. Prairie du Chien, located just above mouth of the Wisconsin River, was the key to trade on the upper Mississippi. Whoever controlled the prairie commanded the immense territory inhabited by thousands of American Indians and the fur they traded. When war broke out between the United States and Great Britain in 1812, British and Americans fought to maintain the ever-shifting alliance of the tribes.This is the story of the battle for the control of Prairie du Chien and the western country, which began many years before the three-day siege in July of 1814 for which the Battle of Prairie du Chien is named. It is also the tale of the people, Euro-American and Native, who lived in pre-territorial Wisconsin and how the contest for control of the region affected their lives and livelihoods. The outcome of the War of 1812 would determine what manifest destiny would mean to all who called these lands home.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Discover the three generations of Dousman women who breathed life into a grand Gilded Age estate. On the banks of the upper Mississippi River at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, stands Villa Louis, the majestic Italianate-style mansion and estate built by the prosperous Dousman family in 1871. An Elegant Edifice tells the stories of the women of the Dousman residence. Jane, who outlived her husband by fourteen years, oversaw the estate and maintained the family's presence in Prairie du Chien. Jane's daughter-in-law, Nina, managed the property and assumed the role of head of the family following her husband's death, ensuring stability for her children during times of tragedy. Finally, Nina's daughters Violet and Virginia helped to restore the family home in the 1930s, secure its future as a historic site, and record the Dousmans' history for posterity. An Elegant Edifice illustrates the broad strokes of American expansionism through the backgrounds and activities of these influential women, complete with marriages and separations, births and deaths, business disputes, lawsuits, and reconciliations. With stories of St. Louis and St. Paul society, the stylish shops of New York City, and the prominence of Prairie du Chien in the nineteenth century, this book reveals the leisure activities and extravagant lifestyle afforded to the family by their wealth--Tiffany jewelry and housewares, William Morris wallpaper and fabrics, Jaccard silver, and a fine art collection to rival the public museums of the era. Thanks to the women's fortitude and shared conviction in the importance of family, Villa Louis has been preserved and restored to its 1890s splendor and is today considered one of the most authentically restored Italianate villas in the United States. While previous histories have focused on the Dousman patriarchs, public historian Mary Elise Antoine offers a new perspective on the Dousman family history by bringing into focus Jane, Nina, Violet, and Virginia. These women's lives--historically less well-documented than the lives of their husbands, fathers, and sons--contributed greatly to the preservation of Villa Louis and to our understanding of an important chapter in American history.
