(COMMUCK, THOMAS), First Annual Report and Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin for the Year 1854, Vol. I.Madison: Beriah Brown, 1855. First Edition. The majority of the text is given over to appendices, most of which recount Indian activity and encounters with the Native population or matters of Indian names and language. One of the Appendices is a Sketch of Calumet County, by Thomas Cammuck [sic], one of the Brothertown Indians. Commuck was a Narragansett who, together with a handful of families from several other eastern tribes, had moved west into New York state to found the new community of Brothertown. From there, under pressure to move farther west, they moved to Wisconsin, first to Kaukauna and then to Calumet County, where the Brothertown Indian Nation exists today, with the largest concentration in the Fond du Lac area. Front cover detached, but present; thus only a good copy in wrappers. A fragile and rare item.
