About This Book

An essay examines nineteenth-century settlement in Wisconsin, contrasting northeastern American settlers with German immigrants, their geographic concentrations, and how land types shaped agricultural occupation. Drawing on local records and census data, it traces Yankee settlement in prairies and open areas, German concentration in heavily wooded regions, and the gradual transfer of farms and communities between groups. The account highlights resulting social, economic, political, and religious effects and explains how differing attitudes toward land influenced patterns of ownership and community development.
