The fertile lands, vast forests, and many lakes and rivers of the midwestern
United States beckoned these settlers: Antoine Cadillac and Jean
du Sable, founders of Detroit and Chicago; Charles Langlade
and Julien Dubuque, first settlers in Wisconsin and Iowa; Revolutionary
War heroes George Rogers Clark and Rufus Putnam, who opened
the way for settlers in Indiana and Ohio; and Josiah and Abigail
Snelling, the first family of Minnesota. The early days of North and
South Dakota are also briefly covered.
