SynopsisThe story of Prairie du Chien is the history of the Mississippi Frontier in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Native Americans gathered on the prairie to engage in the fur trade, French explorers built a fort to house the furs and trade goods, British traders and American soldiers competed and battled for control of the prairie, and here Black Hawk surrendered in 1832. Though written in 1937, "Prairie du Chien: French, British, American" still stands as the most definitive work on Wisconsin's second oldest community. Republished by the Prairie du Chien Historical Society.
