Product Description
They Came to Wisconsin presents three themes of the states immigrant history: leaving the homeland, making the journey, and enduring the first year of settlement. Journal and diary entries and letters from European groups and oral histories from African American, Latino, Hmong, and Amish sources make this book dynamic and wholly inclusive. They Came to Wisconsin breaks fresh ground in presenting document-centered Wisconsin history to a young audience. More important, these firsthand stories add a real human dimension to history, helping students to compare the experiences of the varied groups who came to Wisconsin in the last two hundred years.

The engaging story of a wide variety of immigrant groups January 5, 2003
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
A part of the Wisconsin Historical Society Press "The New Badger History Series", They Came To Wisconsin by Julia Pferdehirt, is the engaging story of a wide variety of immigrant groups who settled in the American Midwest state of Wisconsin during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and ranges from a variety of traditional European groups to the African Americans, Latinos, and Hmong newcomers of today. Oral histories, excerpts from the Wisconsin Historical Society's archives, interviews, and much, much more fill this rich 127-page survey of Wisconsin's plural heritage. A "must" for all Wisconsin library systems, there is also a Teachers Guide & Student Materials for They Came To Wisconsin ... that is ideal for traditional classroom and/or homeschooling instruction as well.
