Title: The memorable Kickapoo Valley
Description: The book is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I bought it for my husband in about 1979 or 1980 but he stashed it and did not read it. I found it again after his death, and have been reading it and it is so wonderful. The oldest white-men history is written of each of the small villages on the Kickapoo, and about their adventures in bringing covered wagons into this completely unknown and unsettled territory.. mostly for timber. And of their floating rafts of timber down the twisting Kickapoo River to the Wisconsin River and on to the Mississippi. Later in the book it tells of the continuation of some of the same families.

Places: Kickapoo River Valley (Wis.) and all of the villages along its length in Crawford County Wisconsin.
