The removal of the Winnebagoes was continued up to 1853, when from 700 to 900 still remained.

The evidence

• “In 1846 some 1,250 Winnebagoes came back from Iowa and settled along the Fox and Wisconsin and the Kickapoo and Lemonweir valleys. The process of removal was continued up to 1853, when from 700 to 900 still remained. In my early boyhood of those years, in Beloit, I remember seeing often little bands of those Indians in our streets.”
