Andie, This is a reply that I gave to someone on the list in October 1999. Follow the directions below and you will find an index of the names in the book. This may help you in deciding as to whether or not you would like to purchase this book. An index of people contained in the 1880 "History of Sauk County, Wisconsin" is available at the following location: <ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/wi/> Scroll down to the Sauk directory and click, then click on the biography directory, and then click on 1880ndex.txt and you will be able to view the list. I decided to give you the main directory because you can then access information from other counties also. I hope this helps.
