This is another River book but of more local value. The author
loves his subject and writes well of different phases of life along
its borders. Its discovery, early Jesuit and French trader
settlers, Indian tribes, and so forth. (Kirkus Reviews)
A classic account of the Wisconsin River's early exploration by
French traders and Jesuit priests through the 1940s. Mixing
folklore and legend, Derleth tells of the Winnebago, Sauk, and Fox
peoples; of lumberjacks, farmers, miners, and preachers; of
ordinary folks and famous figures such as the Ringling Brothers,
Chief Blackhawk, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Zona Gale.
