Synopsis
Excerpt from The Taverns and Stages of Early Wisconsin
As already intimated, the early taverns exercised a profound influence upon the lives of the settlers, and it is the purpose of this paper to tell their story and that of their landlords, to gether with a cursory account of the stage lines, in the hepe that they may receive deserved recognition as important factors in the settlement and development of our State. For obvious reasons it is neither possible nor desirable to enumerate all the taverns that once studded the landscape of Wisconsin, or to men tion the yet more numerous landlords who at different times presided over them; nor is it necessary to devote much space to the hosts and hostelries of the larger places, because these have generally received due notice in the various county histories. In order to give some idea of their frequency along main roads.
