Preface THE majority of the eight papers contained in this volume were first delivered as lectures; and later, in a modified form, were printed either in popular magazines or in the Wisconsin Historical Collections. For the present publication they have been radically revised and brought down to date — indeed, some of them, especially the opening article, have been entirely rewritten and bear small resemblance to the originals. Owing to the different occasions for which they were pre- pared, there is lacking a uniformity of treat- ment; it is hoped, however, that this variety of form, as well as the somewhat wide range of topics, may be found acceptable. There is more cohesion in this collection than may at first appear. The stories of Mackinac and La Pointe and the account of Early Lead Mining give us glimpses of the old French regime, the idyllic period in the history of what we now know as the Middle West. Upon Braddock’s Road, we witness an incident in the march of the British in their fateful onslaught upon French possessions in the continental interior. In their turn the British army were ousted by American col- onists through the Winning of the Northwest by George Rogers Clark. The Division of the Northwest into States of the Republic followed in due course, the story of their re- spective boundaries being a curious chapter in our history. The Black Hawk War was the last serious Indian uprising in the Middle West; and its close marked the beginning of extensive immigration into both Illinois and Wisconsin. Some account of that gentle scholar, Lyman Copeland Draper, and the now famous Draper Manuscripts — the richest collection extant of original sources for the study of Western history — would seem fitting conclusion for a series like the present.
