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:Fire Weather/Fire Danger Conditions Which Led to the Historic Peshtigo Wildfire of 1871
DESCRIPTION:An extended drought of more than a year\, including a winter of minimal snowfall set up a pattern of fire danger that lasted through the summer of 1871 and caused concern throughout the Midwest. A problem exacerbated by high temperatures and strong winds in the Great Lakes area in the US and neighboring Canadian Provinces in late September and early October of that fatal year. \nPresented by Steve Marien\, the Eastern Area Fire Weather Program Man-ager at the Eastern Area Coordination Center’s (EACC). He provides fire weather/potential and all-hazard products and guidance to the Eastern Area Interagency Wildland Fire Community. The Eastern Area is comprised of 20 states making up approximately the northwestern quarter of the lower 48 states. \nRegister in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1schMiWdRy2JIFw3Gg3s_w

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. Author of The Silver Man; The life and Times of Indian Agent John Kinzie \nZoom Webinar Registration\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_4hdMcM3VSyexWFGw77qrvQ

SUMMARY:Hemlock Bark and Wisconsin’s Tanning Industry:The World Walked on Milwaukee Leather
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: John Bates\nMilwaukee led the world in tanning leather in the early 1900s\, though tanneries were in operation throughout all of Wisconsin from the mid-1800s to the early 1920s. Most used hemlock bark for tanning the leather\, thus hemlock trees were cut down by the tens of millions to supply the tanneries. The tanbark industry was an important part of early Wisconsin’s economy and thousands of people were employed around the state in the art of bark tanning.
