Crandon's Pioneer: Samuel Shaw

3:33
Samuel Shaw was born in 1842 near the village of Kirkpatrick just outside of Dumfries in the lowlands of Scotland. Samuel’s mother, Mary Bennet, immigrated to the United States when he was an infant, so Samuel’s earliest years were spent with his grandparents in Scotland. In 1852, before he turned ten, Samuel’s aunt, Janet Shaw, brought the boy to the United States. They moved in with Samuel’s mother, who was living in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Samuel Shaw attended school in Oshkosh. However, by the age of sixteen he had proven himself to be such an exceptional scholar that he was asked to take charge of teaching an overflow group of younger boys and girls. Shaw completed his own studies while teaching high school students in Oshkosh. When he turned twenty, he journeyed briefly to Great Britain, but returned in 1863 and began teaching at the town of Omro, where he met Louise Webb, whom he soon married. In 1867 he won election as Superintendent of Schoo ....

The Unsolved Mystery of a Rhinelander Robbery

3:25
In the early twentieth century, Gilligan’s Hall was a popular place to go in Rhinelander for entertainment and social activities. Located on the corner of Anderson and Pelham Streets, Gilligan’s Hall at that time was the city’s oldest amusement house. Originally built in 1888 by Mose Broulette, it was sold in 1902 to lumberman William Gilligan. Under both proprietors, the building was used for shows, dances, and public meetings. It became a popular location for union gatherings, and when Gilligan sold the building it became Rhinelander’s Labor Temple. In the year 1909, however, Gilligan was still the owner, and a much-anticipated dance was scheduled to take place in the hall on October 14. ....

A Bumpy History of Northwoods Buses

3:36
Buses are often ignored in the history of transportation because they have an image problem. While they are the cheapest form of public transportation, they are also the slowest. They are not as glamorous or romanticized as passenger rail or airlines and are often associated with underprivileged groups. Yet buses were essential to the development of the tourist industry in the Northwoods.
Early roads and vehicle limitations in the first decades of the twentieth century made bus travel to the Northwoods an impossibility. After the First World War, however, things began to change. The first charter bus service giving Chicago residents a tour through the exotic Northwoods of Wisconsin began in the early 1920s. Vehicles of the Gray Bus Line each carried 18 passengers and gave travelers a unique way of viewing the famous lakes of the Northwoods. ....

A Minocqua Saloon Brawl

3:15
While not part of the Old West, the Northwoods of Wisconsin in the late nineteenth century was a frontier in every sense of the word. Towns and lumber camps in the area had an overabundance of saloons, bars, and taverns, and given that the overwhelmingly male population of lumberjacks and miners had few other outlets, fights were bound to break out. One instance from Minocqua serves to illustrate how quickly things could get out of hand.
Wednesday evening, September 9, 1896, started off quiet in Minocqua. William Williams’ saloon was doing a small business. Three men going by the names of McDonald, Roach, and Gordon were sitting at a table playing cards. A fourth man, Rolly Hagen, was leaning against the entrance door taking in the night air. A young man named James Collins was tending bar. It was a dreary affair until Moses Gravel entered the saloon. ....
