Papers of Rosholt concerning his involvement in land and timber sales and the colonization by immigrants of northern Wisconsin's cut-over regions. Rosholt acquired options from Knapp, Stout, and Company and other lumber and railroad interests for large tracts of northern Wisconsin land and sold the land primarily for farm purposes. The collection contains correspondence with individual land purchasers and with land dealers and lumbering firms including George B. Burrows of Madison, Gale and Company and O. H. Osmundsen of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Knapp, Stout, and Company of Menomonie, the North Western Lumber Company and the Stirling Lumber Company of Eau Claire, and Prokop Plecity of Haugen in Barron County. Also included in the collection are land contracts and miscellaneous legal papers documenting Rosholt's Wisconsin land business and correspondence concerning land acquisitions in Houston County, Tennessee.
