Summary:

"The Wisconsin Magazine of History, Volume 1, 1917-1918" by Various is a historical publication written in the early 20th century. The magazine serves as a collection of articles, documents, and editorials that explore significant figures, events, and themes pertinent to Wisconsin's history. The aim of the magazine is to illuminate the state's past and contribute to the appreciation of its heritage, particularly in relation to the broader narrative of American history. At the start of this volume, the magazine establishes its thematic focus on pivotal historical figures and occurrences in Wisconsin's development. It begins with a tribute to Increase Allen Lapham, highlighting his influence on the intellectual and cultural foundations of the state following its establishment. Lapham's achievements as a scholar and scientific pioneer are elaborated, underscoring his contributions to education and environmental conservation. This is followed by a narrative about a devastating forest fire in Northern Wisconsin, recounting personal experiences and the dire circumstances faced by lumbermen battling the flames. Collectively, these pieces reflect both the struggles and triumphs of Wisconsin's early settlers and intellectuals, setting the tone for the historical inquiries that will unfold throughout the volume.
