1846 1st Milwaukee Book! Wisconsin Geography Meteorology Lapham Native American INDIANS Increase Lapham was an American scientist in the mid-19th-century, most-remembered for his contributions to the scientific history of Wisconsin. He has become known as one of the founding fathers of United States weather service and much of that is in thanks to his work ‘Wisconsin, its Geography and Topography’. This work covered physical attributes of the state of Wisconsin including mineralogy, geology, weather patterns, botany and plants native to Wisconsin, and most importantly a section dedicated to Native American Indian tribes in the north. This rare edition was published in 1846 and includes the large folding map of Wisconsin at the front that is most often found lacking.Howes notes that this work was the “first bound book printed in Milwaukee.’
