The Berlin Area Historical Society is pleased to announce the publishing
of the book "The Story of the Mascoutin Indians and of their Massacre"
written by E. L. Runals in the late 1800's. Taken from his original
manuscript.
E. Runals was a 19th century lawyer that researched the original French
fort commander's documents and those of noted explorers and missionaries
to arrive at his conclusions about the 1712 massacre of the Mascoutin
and Fox Indians at Fort Detroit. The Berlin area was home to the
Mascoutins for over 90 years.
Price of the book is $10.00 with a $2.50 shipping and handling fee if
you'd like it mailed. It can also be purchased at Field's Card and Gift
Shop in Berlin Wis. The Society plans to erect a monument to this lost
tribe with the proceeds from the sale of this book.
