Hello,
My name is Mikki Maddox and I am a high school teacher at Necedah High
School. I am coordinating an event we are calling Necedah 100, which
commemorates a week long celebration in 1919 when the Necedah community
welcomed back not only its troops from WWI, but also all the founders and
settlers of the town.
I am working with the Wisconsin Veterans Museum and using other resources
to cover the military part of our commemoration event, but am in need of
assistance to really cover the lumber/logging part of the event. I
contacted some people I know at the Wisconsin Historical Society and they
suggested I join this listserve and crowdsource some help finding
information or artifacts relating to the history of logging in the central
part of the state.
I am especially looking for the item below which was patented by two
Necedah men or something similar to this object.
Also, if anyone knows someone who might be able to give a demo on logging?
I have Dr. Robert Gough, professor emeritus, giving a talk on the effects
of the lumber industry on Wisconsin on Friday, but other events, demos,
ideas relating to ¨civilian¨ history would be appreciated. I wil
l attach
the information on our event below. Thanks in advance for your support and
assistance.
Sincerely yours,
Mikki Maddox
