Residents of "Wisconsin" in 1776

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, the Hartland Public Library is pleased to welcome Mary Elise Antoine to discuss Wisconsin's connections to the Revolutionary War. She will explain how Canadians and Native people of the western Great Lakes-upper Mississippi region were part of the American Revolution, who participated and why they fought, the results of the battles in which they fought, and the effect of the war in what is now Wisconsin.
Mary Elise Antoine is the author of Enslaved, Indentured, Free: Five Black Women on the Upper Mississippi, 1800-1850 and The War of 1812 in Wisconsin: The Battle for Prairie du Chein. Her research focuses on the material culture and mix and confrontation of cultures on the upper Mississippi prior to Wisconsin statehood.
