Folklore Pamphlets, 1921-1945: Wisconsin Historical Society

As part of their Turning Points in Wisconsin History collection, staff members at the Wisconsin Historical Society have digitized a rather compelling set of folklore pamphlets. The folklore pamphlets were created by Charles E. Brown, who served as the curator of the Museum of the State Historical Society and secretary of the Wisconsin Archaeological Society. Published between 1921 and 1945, these pamphlets were originally created for the Wisconsin Folklore Society and other groups. Each pamphlet is from four to eight pages long, and they include such titles as “Moccasin Tales”, “Indian Folk Lore”, and “Lake Mendota: Prehistory, History and Legends”. As this is Wisconsin, visitors should not be surprised that there are four or five pamphlets that deal with tales of Paul Bunyan and his various adventures.
