Summer Lead d Mining<br />

Many women moved<br />

north, near present-day<br />

Galena, IL, to mine lead.<br />

Since the 1700’s, lead<br />

mining had become an<br />

important part of Sauk<br />

and Mesquakie<br />

economics. Much of the<br />

lead would be traded to<br />

white traders. White<br />

settlers would later<br />

claim the lead country.
