Hi all,
Well, I went out on a limb today and ordered a rare first edition 1861 book: Chronicles of Milwaukee. First reason was for my historical research and lecture assignment at the museum. I'm assigned to do a presentation and window interpretation of one of Milwaukee's founding fathers-Solomon Juneau-shown in a display at his trading post.
I quickly found that much of the popular beliefs about his life and activities are either misleading or just wrong. But this book should shed light on the subject as it's supposed to have tons of material from his first hand accounts given to the author. Wow!
But on the detecting side of things I should also be able to expose so much more of the lost history of the area which may present a lot more hunting opportunities. I'll post again if that theory pans out! In the mean time, heres the link describing the book:
