Book Description
Excerpt from History of Waupaca County, Wisconsin In settling a new country the pioneer has much that is unpleasant and discouraging to contend with. Unbroken forests must be cleared away, or the tough sods of the prairie turned under, and the fields fenced and fitted for cultivation. Crops must be planted, and time given for them to come up, grow and mature. In the meantime the old settler must live. His family can not be carried safely through without food and clothing, coarse and scant, perhaps, but sufficient to sustain nature. How to procure them is often a difficult question with him. It is quite common to see the "hungry wolf at the door," literally as well as metaphorically. His is a constant struggle with want, aye, even hunger and cold; but he must live, and he struggles on, often disappointed, but ever hopeful, for the blackest cloud may, and generally does have a "silver lining." Is it any wonder that so many saint by the way, that so many get discouraged and return to their old homes, perhaps in the far East?

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...Stevens Point, via Waupaca. Aid was asked of the several towns along the proposed line of the road. Farmington responded by voting $700, also by subscriptions from individuals. The funds were used, the grading partly completed to Waupaca, and then the project was abandoned. Since that time the Wisconsin Central railroad has been built through the town, giving it good transportation facilities. "The chief products are wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, buckwheat, potatoes, hops, and wool. "An incident of the early days may be here related: A large black bear invaded the territory, and the settlers congregated to drive him away. The Oshkosh, Fremont & Wausau railroad. J. W. A He was driven across Maple Island Lake to what is called Raspberry Island. Roswell Hicks, seizing his large saber between his teeth, swam across the lake and drove him back to the main land, where he was slain by the land forces." The foregoing well written sketch was published in the Waupaca County Republican, but we copy it from the original manuscript, kindly lent us by Mr. Green. It is in the main accurate, so far as it goes, and we gladly avail ourselves of its assistance in writing up the town. The Town of Farmington is bounded on the north by Scandinavia, on the east by Waupaca, on the south by Dayton, and on the west by Portage County. It is a good farming town, is settled by an enterprising, industrious people, and is getting well improved. It is a good place to settle in, and the emigrant could easily go farther and fare worse than by.setting his stakes there. The first school taught was by Miss Orlie, in the Leonard district--No. 1. The first school house was built in the Leonard district. The first church (Lutheran) was built on Section 10....

Book Description
In 1849, the Native American lands of central Wisconsin were opened, by way of treaty, for land claims by settlers. The area of eastcentral Wisconsin was a favorite to men from Vermont. Vermont men had settled the wild country from Poy Sippi to WaupacaA¢a¬aa stretch of about 15 miles. That year, the countyA¢a¬a¢s earliest pioneers set out from Sheboygan to stake a claim for their homesteads. Told of a place called A¢a¬Athe Falls,A¢a¬A now known as Waupaca, they mapped out three 80-acre plots after their arrival. As more settlers came to the area, Waupaca was formed into a village and incorporated in 1857. The accumulation of vintage photographs that appear in Waupaca depict the townA¢a¬a¢s old way of life in a vivid manner.
