ON THIS SPOT _ Issue 1
From the Lake Michigan shoreline to the banks of the Mississippi River, from Bayfield to Beloit, the Union's 30th state boasts an eclectic, fascinating, impressive history that is often overlooked in favor of the east coast colonies. From the first peoples who have cherished the land from time immemorial; to the arrival of the French explorers, "voyageurs" and Catholic missionaries in the 1600's; to the pioneer settlers who arrived in droves from the late-1700's to the mid-1800's, Wisconsin's history has been shaped by an enviable array of people, places, cultures, languages, and events that influence residents and visitors even today. Through interviews with those who placed the markers, ON THIS SPOT augments the popular WisconsinHistoricalMarkers.blogspot.com website and provide readers with a deeper understanding of the history briefly recounted in a marker's content, such that, when in the area, readers may be inspired to "stop and visit the spot".
