Biography:
Augustin Bisson grew up in a time when Canada or New France was alive with the fur trade industry. Fur trade in the area was dominated by the Northwest Company and the Hudson Bay Company. The men that worked in the fur trade industry could really be looked upon by modern day Americans as "mountain men". When they were in the back country they more or less adopted the law of the land and many took Indian women for their wives. The children born in these families became known as 'Metis'. The term 'metis' is a French term that refers to a person of half-breed, mongrel, cross-bred, mestizo or metif blood. Metis is from the Latin word 'miscere' meaning to mix.
The men who worked in the fur trade business were known as 'Coureurs des Bois' or the entrepenuers of the industry and 'Voyagers' or the men who worked for the companies to trade and transport the furs and trade goods. The Metis culture evolved from the Coureurs des Bois, Voyager and the Indian cultures.
Our Augustin was listed as one such 'Voyager' working for a fur trade company. He also took a "country wife", Therese Peligore who was 'Metis' from the Menominee Indian nation.
Other known addresses of Augustin were Montreal, Quebec, Canada where he was born, Port Buffalo, New York around 1822, the Michigan Territory and Brown County, Wisconsin.
Later in his life and quite probably during a settling down time, Augustin was a farmer and a land patent was found for 149.12 acres, located at 23N - 20E that was apparently purchased from a William M. Stewart. Augustin's church affiliation was Roman Catholic.

News Mention:
From the Green Bay Gazette, June 16th 1928
ALEXANDER BESAW 102 year old Menomonee Indian and Veteran of the Civil War was photographed at the home of George DeLorme of Duck Creek, where he went in search of Mrs. DeLorme's father, Joseph Greenwood, with whom he served in the Union Army. He was in route from his home in Shawano to the Reunion of the 14th Wisconsin Infantry in Fond du Lac next Monday. He is the oldest veteran in the State as far as known. He is holding the Meerschaum pipe, dated 1814, which is one of his prized possessions.
Indian, 102 Years Old, to Attend Reunion of Civil War Regiment
Life is just one round of social events for Alexander Besaw of Shawano. Having just finished his 102nd birthday party, he now is going to Fond du Lac for the annual reunion of the 14th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, with which he served during the Civil War. At this reunion, which opens Monday, he will be the oldest member present, and one of the spryest.
One would never guess that Besaw was 102 years old last month. He talks clearly, with a slight French accent, and makes his way without difficulty, depending only slightly upon the cane, which he carries. His sight is good, although his hearing is impaired. He says he is 102 years old and claims that his Civil War records bear out his assertion.
Born at West De Pere
"Lots of folks say 'He is not that old.'" He declared vehemently. "How can they tell? What do they know about how old I am?"
Besaw was born in West De Pere on the banks of the Fox River, 102 years ago, and lived in that location until 22 years ago, when he moved to Shawano. He tells interestingly of early personages and incidents in this locality.
The first white man he ever saw, he declares, was Cornell Dixon, who operated a sawmill on East River to turn out the timbers for the De Pere dam, but when the dam was in place it was insufficiently weighted, and following a northeast wind one night, the unfinished portion was carried upstream nearly to Little Rapids, where it broke up. "And when the timbers floated back down stream, we got our share," he confessed with a grin.
He was about 12 at this time and had never owned a pair of trousers, he said, only jeans. His mother, using a needle larger than a lead pencil and tread made from vine fibers, finally turned him out a pair of trousers, but neglected to tell him how to put them on. He finally solved the riddle by typing their corners to an angle in the rail fence, climbing the fence, and jumping into them.
"I' m a man now," he thought, and announced his intentions of seeking work. He went to Mr. Reid, superintendent of the sawmill, and asked, "Do you need any more men for the drive?" referring to the drive of logs. The superintendent looked him over gravely, and announced he would try him out.
Valley was Haunted
"He gave me a peavey made of six-inch maple, with an iron a foot long on the end," the old man relates. "I could not carry it, so I dragged it along by the small end. Then we came to a stump along side the log chute."
"You stay here he told me, and when a log comes a past, give it a shove with the peavey. I waited and then the log came, I dropped the peavey onto it, the point held fast so I could not get it out, and away went the log, peavey and all."
"You are no good for the drive, Mr. Reid told me, 'Go and help the cook.'"
Soon young Besaw had saved enough money to buy a white linen suit for 1.50, and decided to go to a dance in Fort Howard. The trousers were too long and the coat too big, but he turned the trouser cuffs up, and tucked his coat in, and decided he was quiet a well-dressed young man.
The trip to Green Bay (Fort Howard) necessitated a walk through the Ashwaubenon Creek and Valley, near where Hockers' Brickyard is now located, a locality commonly credited with being haunted. Besaw decided not to go through alone, but to wait for some other party. So he crawled into some bushes and waited.
Soon two Frenchmen came along singing. Then one called to the other, "If you see a ghost yell; and if I see one I will yell." Thinking to get bast under this protection. Besaw fell into step behind them. Then the nearest Frenchman turned around and saw the white-clad figure.
Frenchman See Ghost
"Oh Lord, there is one now. Run!" he screamed, and he and his companion took to their heels. Besaw unaware that he was he 'ghost,' also fled, and being young soon winded the Frenchmen, the weaker of whom collapsed on the ground, praying for deliverance from the specter. So weak and terrified was he that the combined effort of his companion and Besaw were required to get him to the settlement, and the well-dressed young man did not go to the dance.
Four times the young Indian accompanied Dixon to Chicago with the mail. At Fond du Lac, there was a single settler; on the site of what is now Milwaukee, Solomon Juneau had his shack of popple poles. On one trip, near where Racine stands now, Dixon was trapped by a falling tree, and Besaw had to ride to the nearest settlement help. He knew only his own tongue but by a dint of energetic chopping motions, he convinced them that they should bring axes and follow him. Dixon was free and unhurt.
The route led through Sheboygan, which, pronounced in Indian, sounds like Chetaucon. At Sheboygan Falls, Besaw declares, he saw from 10,000 to 15,000 Indians housed in gathered there to spear the fish as their ascent of the river was blocked by the falls.
In those days, he said one could 'walk on money,' but he had no place to spend it, and nothing to spend it for. At one time, food was so scarce that tea was $8 a pound and a 50 pound sack of flour brought $29. The only thing cheap was whiskey. It sold for 15 cent a gallon, and any store, which did not provide a barrel of it with a dipper, for the refreshment of customers, was boycotted for its failure to show this courtesy to patrons.
Hale and Spry
When the war broke out, Besaw joined Company F of the 14th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, sometimes called the 'Indian Company,' although its roster included a large portion of whites. He served throughout the war and was wounded four times. At Gettysburg, a ball pierced his stomach and lodged in his backbone.
One of his prized possessions is a meerschaum pipe bearing the date 1814. He originally bought it for $7, he said, but later the shopkeeper sought to buy it back, claiming he had not known its real value. Besaw finally consented to relinquish the pipe upon return of his $7 and 36 pounds of tobacco 'to boot.' He later regained possession of it when the merchant retired from business at Antigo.

Obituary:
Robert Besaw, 81, Neenah, died Wednesday, August 14, 2013, at his home surrounded by his family. He was born on July 8, 1932, in Appleton, son of William J. and Mary A. (DeLain) Besaw. Robert graduated from Appleton High School in 1950 and then completed his pipefitter apprenticeship in 1958 at Kimberly Clark. In 1974 Robert joined the management team ultimately retiring in 1993 after 38 ½ years of service. He was a volunteer with the Boys' and Girls' Brigade for over 10 years, and a member of St. Gabriel Catholic Church, Neenah. Robert married Dolores C. McGinnis "DeeDee" in Appleton on March 6, 1987.
Robert was a very kind, gentle, and wise man who could articulate it well. He will be remembered most fondly for his quick wit and desire to always help a person in need. If there was a need, Robert was bound to find a way to fill that need, even if it meant giving of himself or his things. Robert enjoyed his "condo" in the woods, hunting, and fishing.
Robert is survived by his wife, Dolores; a daughter: Denise Besaw, Appleton; three sons: Jeffrey (Betsy) Besaw and Brian Besaw, both of Appleton, and Kevin Besaw, Shawano; three grandchildren: Katie (fiancé Matt), Alexander, and Margaret Besaw; five step-children: Dr. Timothy (Cindy) McGinnis, Patrick (Susan) McGinnis, Kelly (Thomas) Dorn, Sean (Lisa) McGinnis, and Colleen (Mark) Lehrer; 15 step grandchildren: Jennifer (Paul), Jessica, Jacquelyn, Samuel, Michael, Dolores, Sean, Katie, Kelan, Carly, Jeremiah, Megan, Colin (Noelle), Logan, and Olivia; three step great grandchildren: Bethany, Mark, and Benjamin; a sister-in-law: Mary Besaw; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents; an infant sister, Dolores; a toddler brother, Harold; a brother, William Besaw; and a former wife, Mary Patricia "Pat" Besaw.
Memorial services will be held at 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, August 20, 2013, at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 900 Geiger St., Neenah, with Fr. Larry Seidl officiating and Fr. Walter Stumpf concelebrating. Inurnment will be in St. Margaret Cemetery, Neenah. Visitation will be Tuesday at the church from 2:00 p.m. until the time of the Mass. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established in his name.
Robert's family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the staff of Fresenius Dialysis Clinic, Appleton Cardiology (Neenah), and the McGinnis Chiropractic Group (Winneconne) for all of their wonderful care and companionship over the years.
