much of our national history. The Fox-Wisconsin waterway between the St.
Lawrence and Mississippi drainage basins made the Wisconsin country a focus of
French and British imperial policy from the late seventeenth century. The
Wisconsin country was the meeting place of the eastern woodlands Indians and
those from the plains. It was an important crossroads for the fur trade and
therefore important in diplomacy and Indian policy well into the nineteenth
century." - illustrated - From Wisconsin Local History Network -
