Electric World: brief article of Hydro-power survey 1909
Click on the link below to review a brief 1909 article from Electric World of a Wisconsin Commission, which reviewed many areas including Manitowish Waters for hydro-electric development. Errors in spelling, syntax, run-on sentences,and context makes this document a bit awkward to read, but the mistakes are a bit comicial. The key takeaway from this document is the new importance of Manitowish Waters hydro-power contributions at the dawn of the electrical age. This may also explain some of the conflict residents had that led to petitions for changes in the dam operations orders of 1914 and 1937.
