What is the nickname for the state of Wisconsin and why?

The Badger StateThis nickname originally referred to the lead miners, of the 1830s, who worked at the Galena lead mines in Illinois. These mines were in northwestern Illinois close to the borders of Wisconsin and Iowa. The Wisconsin miners lived, not in houses, but in temporary caves cut into the hillsides. These caves were described as badger dens and, the miners who lived in them, as badgers. This derisive nickname was brought back to Wisconsin by these miners. Eventually, the nickname was applied to all of the people of Wisconsin and, finally, to the state itself.


Why do you think miners kept the location of the gold mines a seceret?

Miners likely kept the location of gold mines a secret to protect their investment and to prevent other miners from competing with them. By keeping the location private, they could work undisturbed and maximize their own profits. Additionally, revealing the location could lead to overcrowding and depletion of the gold deposits, reducing the potential returns for the original discoverers.


Who introduced cornish pasties?

Traditional pasties originate from Cornwall, England hence the name Cornish Pasties. Pasties were made for tin miners who could eat their lunches easily and efficiently while down in the mines. Traditional pasties are stuffed with beef, potatoes, swede (type of turnip) or rutabaga, and onions. The crust provided a sort of handle so the miners would not eat traces of arsenic that may have been on their hands from working in the tin mines. The crusts were discarded in the mines for the "knockers," whom some believed to be spirits in the mines that might lead them into danger.

Do coal miners work in underground caves?
