SUMMARY:Hickory\, Dickory\, Dock: The Ghost Lumber Ports of Lake Michigan
DESCRIPTION:In the last half of the 1800s entrepreneurs and businessmen constructed dozens of privately-funded “bridge piers” along the western shores of Lake Michigan. At these piers\, Wisconsin’s forests were exchanged for manufac-tured goods and new settlers. The piers and their associated general stores and lumber mills became seeds around which busy shipping hubs\, villages\, and towns grew and briefly thrived\, and helped to decide the future of east-ern Wisconsin’s economy. Though creations of the 19th century lumber boom\, they and their owners helped to save the lakeshore counties when na-ture and waste turned against local residents\, and provided the means for life to continue when the trees were gone. Ongoing research by archaeologists and divers with the Wisconsin Historical Society is bringing back the stories of lost communities such as Ronksville\, Carlton\, and Langworthy\, telling for-gotten tales of life in Wisconsin’s Ghost Ports. \nPresenter:  Dr. Amy Rosebrough is a Staff Archaeologist with the Office of the State Archaeologist at the Wisconsin Historical Society\, where she manages archaeological and burial sites data\, assists Wisconsin’s citizens with archaeological questions\, and serves as a subject matter expert. \nRegister in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_g9na5E-QQYa-XSUH–Ue6A\nPlease note: The webinar is Free\, but pre-registration is required.

SUMMARY:Past in the Pines: The Archaeology of Historic Era Logging in Wisconsin
DESCRIPTION:The history of Wisconsin logging is not only told in historic photos\, documents and oral histories\, but also in archaeology\, the study of the past through the artifacts and sites left by logging efforts that started in Wisconsin as early as the 1810’s. From early military logging efforts at Prairie du Chien (Fort Crawford)\, Portage (Fort Winnebago) and Green Bay (Fort Howard)\, through the more commonly known commercial logging of the 1840’s-1900’s\, the 19th century loggers of Wisconsin produced thousands of archaeological sites ranging from lumber camps\, to drag roads\, dam’s and spillways and even whole “Company” logging towns. \nThis talk will discuss how archaeologists currently address the periods and varieties of historical logging sites in Wisconsin\, and discuss specific “logging artifacts” that are common finds on logging sites in the region tell us more about how these historic loggers lived and worked. Finally\, historic logging sites of the early 20th century associated with interesting historic events such as WWII (German POW logging) and the Great Depression (Civilian Conservation Corp-CCC logging) that are only now becoming old enough to study with archaeological digs will be discussed. \nPresenter: Ryan J. Howell\, M.A.\, RPA\, WAS\, Garrison Archaeologist- U.S. Army\, Fort McCoy.  Ryan has conducted archaeological research in Wisconsin\, and particularly northern Wisconsin for more than 25 years\, He is currently the Garrison Archaeologist at Fort McCoy for the U.S Army. He received his B.A in Archaeology/Anthropology from the University of Wyoming and his Master’s at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1998. He has worked doing archaeology for many private\, tribal and government sectors throughout the Upper Midwest\, with former employers as diverse as the Center for Environmental Management on Military Lands (CEMML)\, the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Research Center (MVAC)\, private engineering firms and the Prairie Island M’dewankanton Dakota tribe. His research interests include both the pre-contact and historic contact eras of Wisconsin history\, with specific published articles focused on the ancient Native American sites\, sites of the Fur Trade/Colonial era\, logging archaeology and 20th century military archaeology. \nRegister in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_E8GFk-9TQMuckYIK_78aoA\nPlease note: The webinar is Free\, but pre-registration is required.

SUMMARY:The Buildup and the Blowup
DESCRIPTION:Conflagrations like the 1871 Peshtigo Fire have reemerged as important threats across North America and around the world. Understanding the factors and the phenomena that produced the fire environment of that day is possible because of weather observations collected and recorded at the time and studies of extreme fire behavior that continue to this day. Recounting it should be a cautionary tale for our lives as we continue to live them. \nPresented by Robert Ziel\, is a Wildland Fire Analyst\, living in Marquette\, Michigan\, who works for the Alaska Fire Science Consortium\, at the University of Alaska\, Fairbanks. \nRegister in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EcsrJoeSQ6mq_fDkxx6eZQ

SUMMARY:Frontier Diplomats or Agents of Empire: U.S. Indian Agents in Wisconsin\, 1812-1845
DESCRIPTION:Life in Wisconsin during much of the first half of the 19th century was defined by the interactions between Native Americans and white settlers moving into the region. Indian Agents were a critical but often overlooked part of this relationship. They were the main conduit by which tribes could communicate with the federal government. They were also the eyes and ears of leaders in Washington. Indian agents also performed critical local roles such as Justice of the Peace and postmaster. Join historian Pete Shrake as he explores this unique federal official and the men who made up its ranks. \nPresented by:\nPeter Shrake\nCurrent archivist at Circus World Museum; Past director of the Sauk County Historical Museum and past reference archivist at the Wisconsin Historical Society.
