 Ethnicity in Wisconsin: Historical Background   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Wisconsin became a favored location for hundreds of thousands of immigrants because it offered abundant, inexpensive land (first in the south and later in the cutover), industrial jobs, and a free political climate.
Wisconsin became the most attractive destination in North America in part because large areas of the state were being opened for settlement, and land could be purchased cheaply, sometimes for as little as $1.25 an acre.
Wisconsin was also home to a few stops on the underground railroad, and after the Civil War a number of African-Americans settled permanently in the state, most in cities, but some in rural communities such as Pleasant Ridge in Grant County.

Following the Indian treaties of 1829 and 1833, the federal land surveys of 1833, and the creation of the federal land office at Green Bay in 1834, government lands in Wisconsin south and east of the Fox and Wisconsin rivers were made available for public purchase at the price of $1.25 per acre.
The 1862 county plat map credits Bruins with the latter, and the original handwriting on the patent document is, at least, ambiguous (note the Township number, which looks like "South" but is in fact "North").
The official records of the land patents in Wisconsin are now available on the Web from the Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States General Land Office at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/.
