Excerpt from Madison, Dane County and Surrounding Towns: Being a History and Guide to Places of Scenic Beauty and Historical Note Found in the Towns of Dane County and Surroundings, Including the Organization of the Towns, and Early Intercourse of the Settlers With the Indians, Their Camps, Trails, Mounds, Etc In presenting to our readers the History of Madison, Pane County and Surrounding Towns, we do it with some degree of gratification; - not because we have the presumption to conceive that we have issued a complete work, or that, it is free from errors; but simply because we have had so many kind helps rendered us in bringing tire work up to its present condition, and without flattering ourselves that we have composed some grand strain, or even been in full harmony with all our parts, we have, at least, struck the key-note from which we have built up good, if not square work. To show that our work was needed, it is only necessary for us to call the reader's attention to the many chapters so freely contributed by many of our citizens, who, making no pretensions to any great literary acumen, have related the facts and incidents of their towns in terms sometimes unfinished, but never lacking power and simplicity to express what they knew, thus commending to our admiration the free and unvarnished manner with which the story of pioneer life, trials and sufferings is related, and the evident delight taken in looking back on those difficulties, to enact them over again. We think our work has been instrumental in saving from oblivion much that would have passed unheeded in the annals of the early settlement and development of our county. Our citizens, in their early pioneer life, forgetting that they were makers of history, saved comparatively little of the past dates or records. History by towns has not, we believe, been published in this state before, and we feel certain that no surer way could be devised for reaching facts than the plan we have adopted, as there me none better able to write a family history than one of its members. To the writers of the ensuing chapters we suggested the following subjects, which our readers will see have been conscientiously adhered to: The early settlement and organization of each town; pioneer trials and difficulties; scenic beauty and hygiene; industrial pursuits and markets; schools and churches: early intercourse with the Indians; camps, trails, graves or mounds, etc. The work has exceeded, by several hundred pages, our agreement with subscribers, but having been assured of remuneration therefor by an increase of names on our subscription list, we have decided to make no advance in price.

Book Description
Dane County is located in the center of Wisconsin between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River, and is famed for its abundance of pre-historic artifacts. Opening with the history of the city of Madison, the first part of this extensive work looks at a diverse set of topics; early settlement of the region, establishment of the capital, pioneers and notable persons, the state university, the state historical society, churches and pastors, regional newspapers, merchants and bankers, schools, literature and the arts, historic homes, visitors and resorts, and Native American mounds, monuments, caves, and relics. The second part concentrates on Dane County. The towns surveyed include: Albion, Berry Black Earth, Blooming Grove, Blue Mounds, Bristol, Burke, Cambridge, Christiana, Cottage Grove, Cross Plains, Dane, Deerfield, Dunn, Dunkirk, Fitchburg, Madison, Mazomanie, Medina, Middleton, Montrose, Mount Vernon, Oregon, Perry, Pleasant Springs, Primrose, Roxbury, Rutland, Springdale, Springfield, Stoughton, Sun Prairie, Vermont, Verona, Vienna, West Blue Mounds, Westport and Village of Waunakee, Windsor, and York. Each town is afforded a similar (if more concise) treatment to that provided for Madison. The adjacent towns of Brooklyn, Edgerton, Evansville, Lake Koshkonong, and Lodi are also described. The town histories are supplemented by a section of personal reminiscences, a listing of county officers, and numerous illustrations of people and landmarks.
