N. Fuller, "Economic
and Social Beginnings of Michigan," Michigan Historical
Publications, Univ. Series, No.1 (1916). A very readable book is
R. G. Thwaites, "The Story of Wisconsin" (rev. ed., 1899),
containing a full account of the early relations of white men and
red men, and of the Black Hawk War. Mention may be made, too, of
H. E. Legler, "Leading Events of Wisconsin History" (1898).
Among the volumes dealing with the diplomatic history of the
Northwest, mention should be made of two recent studies: C. W.
Alvord, "The Mississippi Valley in British Politics" (2 vols.,
1917), and E. S. Corwin, "French Policy and the American
Alliance" (1916).
Aside from Lincoln, few men of the earlier Northwest have been
made the subjects of well-written biographies. Curiously, there
are no modern biographies, good or bad, of George Rogers Clark,
General St. Clair, or William Henry Harrison. John R. Spears,
"Anthony Wayne" (1903) is an interesting book; and Andrew C.
McLaughlin, "Lewis Cass" (1891), and Allen Johnson, "Stephen A.
Douglas" (1908) are excellent.
