PREFACE.
State, - information tending to familiarize the citizen with the statutory laws, as well as with the legislation by which they were enacted. This phase of the volume includes a review of Wisconsin's record in the war for the Union, as also a brief mention of the consecutive political contests that have char- acterized the State and Territorial Governments.
The volume closes with statistical and descriptive sketches of each county in the State, presenting at a single glance the present condition of every county, with its facilities for future growth and development.
I have been assisted in the compilation of this work by Daniel S. Durrie, Librarian of the Wisconsin State Historical Society, especially in the legislative and war records of the State, with which he had become familiar. I am also largely indebted to the Collections of the Historical Society, and indi- rectly, through these Collections, to the labors of Dr. Lyman C. Draper, who has for more than forty years spent much time and means annually in enlarging the usefulness of the society.
With each edition of this work, additional chapters will be added, bringing the records down to the latest possible date, thereby keeping pace with the march of events.

INTRODUCTORY.
WISCONSIN, although not the greatest State in the Union, is among the greatest ; and, with her present developments and vast resources, she may be considered in most essentials as second to none.
