Beschreibung:
Robert A. Birmingham served for many years as Wisconsin State Archaeologist at the Wisconsin Historical Society. He now teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha and writes from his home in Madison. He is the recipient of the 2005 Steinberg Prize from the University of Wisconsin Press for Indian Mounds of Wisconsin, co-authored with Leslie E. Eisenberg; the 2005 Merit Award for history from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association for Aztalan: Mysteries of an Ancient Indian Town, written with Lynne G. Goldstein; the Increase A. Lapham Medal from the Wisconsin Archeological Society; and a 2007 Wisconsin State Park Hero award for his work promoting Aztalan State Park.
Focusing on the strategically located Fort Blue Mounds in southwestern Wisconsin, Robert A. Birmingham summarizes the 1832 Black Hawk War and details the history of the fort. Birmingham then transports us to the site decades later, when he and fellow Wisconsin Historical Society archaeologists and dedicated volunteers began their search for the fort. The artifacts they unearthed provide fascinating--and sometimes surprising--insights into the life, material culture, and even the food of the frontier.
