Early Exploration, the War of 1812, and the First U.S. Gov. Initiatives

This week’s A Northwoods Moment in History is in response to two WXPR listeners who submitted questions to our new Curious North series.  An anonymous listener from Lake Tomahawk asked: Did the French and British occupy Wisconsin? What happened in the war of 1812 in the state?
