Book Description
"From about 1600 through 1850, determined men in fragile bark canoes paddled up the rivers and streams of the Great Lakes watershed. These men, known as Voyageurs or 'travellers,' set out in the late fall hoping to trade a few simple trinkets and tools for thick, valuable beaver skins. Their quest took them deeper and deeper into the wilderness, and their adventures and explorations shaped the history of the North American continent. This is the true story of one of those men" -- p. [4] of cover.

Book Description
Like many small Midwestern cities, Baraboo has had the usual share of postcards printed featuring its buildings and landscapes. However, Baraboo's unique place in Wisconsin history provided for a much richer array of subject matter. As the original winter quarters of the Ringling Brothers Circus, along with its proximity to Devil's Lake and its place as a division headquarters for the Chicago & North Western railroad, Baraboo has always provided an interesting setting for postcard images.

Haunted Baraboo
Author: Shelley Mordini and Gwen Herrewi
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467148369
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
For decades, ghosts have been known to inhabit some of Baraboo's most prized historic locations. Buildings and mansions built by the Ringling brothers at the height of their circus empire now harbor apparitions of unidentified children, horse trainers and other circus workers. Residents throughout the Downtown Baraboo Historic District describe disembodied voices, footsteps and items moving on their own. Even historic homes, new homes and roadways have ghosts--a family awakened to find their dining room table set for a party of ten, a little girl realized that her "friend" wasn't getting any older and a Highway 12 hitchhiker materialized despite the highway being rerouted. Founder of Baraboo Tours Shelley Mordini and tour guide Gwen Herrewig share tales of Baraboo's more mysterious side.
