- Description
This folder contains the manuscript copy of Increase Allen Lapham's book entitled "Geographical and Topographical Description of Wisconsin, 1844." This copy is made up of handwritten pages, notes, and diagrams on a wide-ranging group of subjects from rivers in Wisconsin to indigenous plant species. Due to the fragility of the manuscript, it was impossible to digitize several pages without risking further damage to the book and they are therefore not included in the online database.
