Dating back to 1857, the Polish community of Portage County, Wisconsin, is one of the oldest in the nation. In the course of two generations these hardworking new Americans built up prosperous farms and soon became full participants in the area's daily life and long-term development -- contributing, in particular, to the growth of Stevens Point.
The book also looks into the historic communities of Plover, Ellis, Amherst, Custer, Polonia and Torun. An excellent springboard for genealogical research, Native Realm is a recipient of State Historical Society of Wisconsin Award of Merit. The book features a bibliography and index as well as color and black-and-white photos and a foldout map.
