| Abstract | De Haas, a Wisconsin farmer, reports about Wisconsin, and his experiences there. "I hope to be able to be useful to my friends by this report and by it to prevent some from overhasty steps, and perhaps to encourage many to come over to us and to share our lot." Includes descriptions of climatic conditions, soil quality and cultivation, trees, animals, roads, and prices for food and farm equipment. Includes "The Visit to the Virgin Forest: A Sketch from My Life on 'Lake de Haas' in Fond du Lac County, Wis.," by Carl de Haas [Translated from an article appearing in "Nordwestlicher Courier," Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, in July 1871, volume 1, no. 10], and "Recollections of the Forties," by Rudolph Puchner [Translated from an article in the "New Yorker Staats Zeitung," December 16, 1900]. |
