Thank you all so much for the wonderful responses to my question. I am
overwhelmed by your kindnesses. I was aware of the cutoff date of 1923, but
thought perhaps since the Wisconsin Historical Society was still actively
publishing their quarterly "Magazine of History", that maybe this article
would fall under some "updated" copyright law. From what I've read within
the links that have been submitted here, and also checking the US Copyright
website, searching through the 'serials' of the WHS, I believe that it is
okay to use this article. I just didn't want to do anything wrong.
Thanks again for all your help, everyone!
