    "Very few Indians supported the uprising" According to the Narrative of Spoon Decorah, a Ho-Chunk man who lived through these historical events, almost no one (less than a handful) supported the "uprising", and in fact, the Ho-Chunk did not view it as an uprising at all. They viewed it as Red Bird randomly attempting to murder an innocent pioneer family, and were just as horrified as Americans were. The tribe turned him over to the Americans so that justice could be done. Spoon Decorah's own words on the subject: "During what the whites call the Winnebago War, at Prairie du Chien [in 1827], I was living with my people on Little Green Lake. There was among us no general hatred of the whites. Red Bird had some private revenge to satisfy, and murdered the white family at the prairie of his own accord. We were all very sorry. We had no sympathy with him. We felt that he was a bad Indian. He tried to get the rest of his tribe into trouble. I have heard of some white people who enjoy getting their neighbors into any trouble they have themselves got into. There was no feeling among the rest of the tribe, over Red Bird's conduct, except that of anger. We willingly gave him up to the whites."

    Another fact about Wisconsin is that the Kissel automobile was made in Hartford Wisconsin. An FYI thing is that the earth is divided into four hemispheres. The Northeast, the Northwest, the Southeast, and the Southwest Hemispheres. The center of these hemispheres are located on the 45-degree and the 90-degree latitude and longitude lines in each area. The center of the Northwest Hemisphere is located in Wisconsin, west of Wausau near a small community of Poniatowski. It is the only one you can literally stand on. It is in the middle of a farmers field and is accessible by a grave walkway. Two of the other centers are located in an ocean and the other is on a mountain top somewhere in Tibet or Mongolia.

    II am so so impressed with the series. First of all, it was beautiful in the way it was shot and the places captured. Second, it was extremely well narrated hitting a level I've never seen before on TH-cam. Wisconsin has a lot of places that are difficult to pronounce. The narrator pulled it off flawlessly. And last but not least, it was extremely well researched. It had all the notes of Wisconsin's history that I personally knew and far more. Congratulations! I'll be recommending this to all my Wisconsin friends and family.
