Ballindalloch Press is located in Baraboo, Wisconsin, and speculation and controversy over to the actual origins of the name "Baraboo" has persisted for many decades.

The first chapter of this book examines the dozens of theories as to the origin of the name, while the remaining chapters explore the life and times of the individual the author identifies as "A Man Called Baraboo."

This extensively illustrated book will be of interest to anyone wanting to know more about the French regime in the Great Lakes region. The material is drawn from numerous 17th, 18th and 19th century sources and is fully footnoted.

Maps and illustrations from the fur trade era, plus many new maps, illustrations and photographs of places and artifacts help to tell the story of a typical French Canadian voyageur who lived during the middle of the 18th century.
