Winnebago Chief White Crow
This article, scanned from the Wisconsin History
journal and submitted by Brian Christianson, provides a fascinating insight to
two cultures that lived in the vicinity of Lake Koshkonong in the 19th and
early 20th century. It describes a large gathering of white settlers in 1916 at
the Sumner-area farm of prominent Wisconsin naturalist Halvor Skavlem to
dedicate a boulder marker to the memory of Winnebago Chief White Crow. The
article reads like a "Who's who" of southern Wisconsin political leaders and
describes how White Crow and his family interacted with the white culture,
including a visit to Washington DC.
