History Wisconsin 1856 Historical Collection Vol II Original Madison 2nd Annual

Description: When it comes to Wisconsin history, an invaluable set of books are the Wisconsin Historical Collections. Volumes 1 through 10 were reprinted in the early 1900s - even those are over 100 years old. But finding these earliest editions in the first printing is becoming increasingly difficult. This copy is 168 years old! The reason these books exist is because of the work of several men, some of these: William Smith, James Doty, Increase Lapham, Albert Ellis, Morgan Martin, Lyman Draper, and more. We owe a great debt to these men for having the foresight to record and preserve a great deal of early Wisconsin history. As an added bonus, this copy has the bookplate of John Jay Paul (1869 - 1947), who was the President of the National Bank of La Crosse and the President of the John Paul Lumber Company and the East Coast Lumber Company, La Crosse. This listing is for one original, complete hardcover volume. Free shipping to any of the 50 U.S. states.
