Br. Jerry Tokarz has spent more than six years researching the history of the Assumption Province. His work has been immortalized in the book, "The Pulaski Franciscans: A History of the Assumption BVM Province 1887-2011".
Br. Jerry has written a 14 page pre-amble to the Province's history. This paper (not included in the book) speaks of the Wisconsin Territory and the Native American tribes who lived there as well as the advent and effects of European settlement.
