Howard B. the third brother was in command of a troop fighting the Apaches in the southwest, and lost his life in a hand to hand conflict with the Indians. No other Wisconsin family, perhaps, produced such a trio of brave fighters. The Waukesha County Historical Society was chiefly instrumental in the creation of this park.

Pagina 7 - Strange as it may seem, the American people, bred for many generations to forest life, drawing no small measure of their wealth from the forest, have not yet acquired the sense of timber as a crop. These immense stretches of cut-over land, mostly too rough or too sterile for tilling, have not awakened us to their vast potential worth as growers of wood.

That has been established long since and is not open to question. The lamentable results which have followed the cutting of forests over large areas, the serious effects of such cutting upon climate, rainfall, preservation of the soil from erosion, regularity of river flow, and other highly important things which go to make up the...
