The chronology
The land through time
Every documented event, from the property outward: Beloit, Rock County, the region and the world. Each one links to the page of the source that records it. The record so far covers 1820–1864; more years are being added.
1828
The region
- 1828 The Winnebago war took place; P41 describes it as a war between Colonel Dodge and Chief Red Bird, in which Red Bird gave himself up.
- 1828 Government soldiers made the first recorded cutting of lumber on the stream, at the building of Fort Winnebago.
- August 25, 1828 The United States made a treaty at Green Bay with the Winnebago and other tribes, to remove difficulties arising from white occupation of the unceded mining country of southwestern Wisconsin. P4 names the Winnebagoes, Pottawattamies and other tribes; P41 calls it a provisional treaty made by Lewis Cass and Pierre Minard with the Winnebago, Chippewa, Ottawa and Pottawattomie Indians; P1 records that a treaty with the Indians to secure the right to occupy the lead regions was made in 1828, without giving a day.
