This historical document is a fantastic read and a window into old Wisconsin and its river systems. About the Author Born outside of Columbus, Ohio in 1818, William Pidgeon traveled extensively throughout the Mississippi Valley in the first half of the 19th Century, where he surveyed many Native American earthworks before their disappearance under the farmers plow. In his 52nd year, Pidgeon was murdered by Indians who took offense to his work. Related Free eBooks
