8.5" x 5.75", 32 pp, with folded Map of Wisconsin (12.25" x 11"; Prepared for the Stated Board of Emigration by L.A. Lapham, Milwaukee, 1867) at rear. Disbound from a larger volume (but with original wrappers present), map has some uneven toning, 1/3 of rear wrapper lacking, but still a very good copy overall. Scarce first edition of this pamphlet, which was reissued several times and in several languages. According to the Wisconsin Historical Society website, "Wisconsin government officials tried to encourage settlers to come to the state several times in the nineteenth century. They employed a commissioner or a formal board of immigration during the years 1852-1855, 1867-1887, and 1895-1901. In 1867 Gov. Lucius Fairchild persuaded Milwaukee author Increase Lapham to write [this pamphlet] to be distributed to prospective immigrants in the eastern states and in Europe. Over the next several years, translations and revised editions appeared in German, Norwegian, French, Dutch, Swedish, and Welsh." Includes sections on rivers and water power, climate and health, geology and mineral resources, agriculture, common occupations of residents, railroads, markets, land values and homestead laws, schools, libraries, and more.
