Book Description
Originally a part of Brown County, Manitowoc separated and officially became a county of its own in 1836. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Manitowoc County was a agricultural community built on dairy farming and planting corn and wheat as well as lumbering. European immigrants helped the county develop, and pioneers such as Jacob Grimm, Jacob Conroe, Ira Clark, and Judge George Reed took a chance and moved to Manitowoc to start a new life. Today, the county is made up of small villages and ghost towns. Communities such as Grimms, Osman, School Hill, Cato, and others that were once busy with activity were lost with time as travel became easier and larger cities had more to offer.

Book Description
The American Indians have lost much of their land over the years, but their legacy is evident in the many places around the United States that have Indian names. Countless placenames have, however, been corrupted over time, and numerous placenames have similar spellings but different meanings. This reference work is a reprint in one combined volume of the two-volume set published by McFarland in 2003 and 2005. Volume One covers the name origins and histories of cities, towns and villages in the United States that have Indian names. It is arranged alphabetically by state, then alphabetically by city, town or village name. Additional data include population figures and county names. Probable Indian placenames with no certain origin also receive entries, and as much history as possible is provided about those locations. Volume Two covers more than 1400 rivers, lakes, mountains and other natural features in the United States with Indian names. It is arranged by state, and then alphabetically by natural feature. Counties are provided for most entries, with multiple counties listed for some entries where appropriate. In addition to name origins and meanings, geophysical data such as the heights of mountains and lengths of waterways are indicated.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Manitowoc County Thls, then, 15 the alm of th1s history No clalms are made for lts llterary merlts. On the other hand the author has more largely devoted hls efforts towards securmg correctness m pomt of fact than elegance of style Differ edt phases ln the county's hlstory are treated toplcally also, Instead of an at tempt bemg made to wrlte one connected story of the entlre ex1stence of the county, as It was thought true prospectlve would thus be better afforded. It may be objected that too many dates have been Inserted. From the l1terary standpomt thls 1s doubtless true, but 1t must be remembered that above all the 1dea1n wrlttmg th1s work was the recordlng ln some permanent form df many facts Wth m future years may be useful as well asmterest1ng,1n re gard to the begmmng and progress of the county. The older generatlon 1s rapldly passmg off the stage of actlon and the orlgmal evidence of h1stor1ca1 value., such as landmarks, 1s bemg obllterated year by year To preserve at least a partial account of the changes made by the course of tlme was the task the author set before h1m. Without further apology he submlts the result to the reader. Ralph gordon plumb. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
