| Abstract | Wisconsin created the Office of State Commissioner of Emigration in 1852. This study traces the history of this agency during the years 1852-1855 (it was reinstated in 1867 under a slightly different name), examines its legal and political background, and discusses the three major functions of the office: 1) providing information concerning the state of Wisconsin, 2) giving advice concerning travel to Wisconsin, and 3) protecting the emigrant against fraud and deception. |
