Sold
Softcover. First edition. Octavo. Original pale orange printed wrappers. 46pp. Lightly chipped and mildly soiled; a very good copy. Compiled by Aikens for the Board of Trade; a scarce report. Andrew Jackson Aikens (1830-1909) was a newspaperman from New England who moved to Wisconsin in 1854 and eventually became a controlling owner of the *Evening Wisconsin*. German emigration to Wisconsin was especially notable from 1846-1854 with the 1850 census recording over 38,000 Germans. The printer, the “Milwaukee Seebote” was established in Milwaukee in 1851. Six copies on *OCLC.* NYPL calls this an annual, but American Philosophical Society, Yale, and Mass Historical Society have only this 1857 edition. We suspect that this was the first and last year of this “annual.” *Sabin* 49156. *Eberstadt* 167-522.
