History Sandwiched In: The Life and Times of Indian Agent John Kinzie
Author Peter Shrake discusses the dramatic changes that swept the Wisconsin frontier in the early to mid-1800s, through the life of Indian Agent John Harris Kinzie, "The Silver Man." From the War of 1812 and the monopoly of the American Fur Company to the Black Hawk War and the focused removal of thousands of Ho-Chunk people from their native lands, John Kinzie's life story gives us a front-row seat to a pivotal time in the history of the American Midwest. A signing of Shrake's book The Silver Man: The Life and Times of Indian Agent John Kinzie will follow the program.
