Book excerpt: In The Silver Man, readers witness the dramatic changes that swept the Wisconsin frontier in the early and mid-1800s, through the life of Indian agent John Kinzie. From the War of 1812 and the monopoly of the American Fur Company, to the Black Hawk War and the forced removal of thousands of Ho-Chunk people from their native lands--John Kinzie's experience gives us a front-row seat to a pivotal time in the history of the American Midwest.
