Excerpt from Wisconsin and Its Resources: With Lake Superior, Its Commerce and Navigation

The preparation of the following pages was undertaken, in consequence of a strong impression left upon the mind of the author, after several tours through Wisconsin, that the advantages afforded by that rapidly increasing State were very insufficiently known. With a desire to afford correct information, much pains have been taken to obtain, from undoubted authority, those statistics which disclose the true character of her soil, climate, and resources. He has endeavored to bring within a moderate space, such a knowledge of the advantages presented by Wisconsin, as should induce the worthy and enterprising settler to find a happy home within her borders.

For many of the statements made, the author is enabled to refer to the testimony of intelligent farmers residing on the shores of Lake Superior and in other sections of the country. He is also greatly indebted to the press throughout the State, for the kind manner in which his inquiries have been replied to.
