"Wau-Bun: The Early Day in the Northwest" by Mrs. John H. Kinzie offers a compelling glimpse into early 19th-century life in the Midwest. This 1968 edition, published by The National Society of Colonial Dames in Wisconsin, was reprinted by offset from the 1948 edition. Edited with notes and an introduction by Louise Phelps Kellogg, this work provides historical insights into the interactions between settlers and Native Americans, particularly in Wisconsin. Juliette M. Kinzie, the author, was a notable figure in early Chicago society, and her memoirs are a valuable resource for understanding the cultural and social dynamics of the era. This edition is a reprint and is not the first edition, making it more accessible for those interested in historical narratives. The book is bound in a sturdy hardcover with a dust jacket that shows signs of wear, including minor tears and edge wear, but remains intact.
