ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL QUESTIONS Florence E. Baker, _A Brief History of the Elective Franchises in Wisconsin_ (1894); Fremont O. Bennett, _Politics and Politicians of Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois_ (1886); Eugene Brown and F. Fred Rowe (compilers), _Industrial and Picturesque Rockford, Illinois_ (1891); Carlo De'Negri, _Appunti di Statistica Comparata dell' Emigrazione dell' Europa e della Immigrazione in America e in Australia_ (in _Bulletin de l'Institute International de Statistique_, 1888); John G. Gregory, _Foreign Immigration to Wisconsin_ (1902); C. H. Gronvald, _The Effects of the Immigration on the Norwegian Immigrants_ (in _Sixth Annual Report to the State Board of Health of Minnesota_, 1878); Hans Mattson (editor), _Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the First Swedish Settlement in America, September 14, 1888_ (1889); Robert P.

Whelpley, _The Problem of the Immigrant_ (1905); Edward Young, _Labor in Europe and America, a Special Report on the Rate of Wages, etc._ (1875),--a particularly valuable book, dealing with conditions in Europe on the eve of the great movement to America. Two groups of Federal reports are very useful: _Emigration from Europe_, (_Reports from the Consuls of the United States_, No. 76, 1887), dealing with European conditions; and _Emigration to the United States_ (_Special Consular Reports_, vol. XXX, 1904). Another exhaustive and scholarly investigation is embodied in _Reports of the Industrial Commission on Immigration, including testimony, with Review and Digest, and Special Reports_, being vol. XV of the Commission's _Reports_ (1901). The Civil War as related to immigration from Northern Europe is treated in: Ole A. Buslett, _Det Femtende Regiment Wisconsin Frivillige_ (1895); P. G. Dietrichson, _En Kortfattet Skildring af det femtende Wisconsins Regiments Historie og Virksomhed under Borgerkrigen_ (1884); J. A. Enander, _Borgerkrigen i de Forenede Stater i Nord Amerika_ (1881); John A. Johnson, _Det Skandinaviske Regiments Historie_ (1869).
