The book chronicles Folsom's life experiences and observations as he navigates the significant transformations in the Northwestern territories over five decades. The narrative provides a personal glimpse into the pioneering days and the development of cities that laid the foundations for Wisconsin and Minnesota. The opening of the work introduces the author, W. H. C. Folsom, as he reflects on his journey from Maine to the Northwest Territory, starting his life at Prairie du Chien in 1836. He outlines his early life experiences, detailing his laborious beginnings and the events that shaped his move westward.
