Some settlers decided to make Kenosha their permanent home. Several early settlers recorded the experiences they had in establishing Kenosha. This page is designed to give these early recorded histories a wider audience. However, this scanned text (while convenient to access) should not substitute for the actual published material. Be aware also that these are views of individual settlers and do not necessarily portray the actual history of early Kenosha objectively. In many cases the accounts of what happened differ and are written with bias. Please take this into account when using these texts in your research. If you have a source/book/manuscript that is not listed on this page and you would like to share, please E-mail us. |
