The Welsh in Wisconsin

"In the summer of 1840, John Hughes, a native of Cardiganshire, Wales, journeyed to southeastern Wisconsin intending to establish a new life for his growing family." This marks the beginning of a flood of Welsh immigrants into this rural wilderness area, 25 miles west of Lake Michigan. "Among the new neighbors was Richard "King" Jones...[who] soon became one of the most influential immigrants within the rural Welsh community. "His efforts created a comfortable transition haven for newly-arriving Welsh immigrants." This book looks back at this heritage with words and pictures. Oversized trade paperback, 84 pp, largely b & w photographs with one map.
