Here Will I Build a City Austin Minnesota Souvenir
An Iowa family’s stop in Austin inspires a souvenir look at Minnesota's southern district. The piece chronicles Austin and Mower County progress from frontier trading to a thriving city with banks, hotels, rail links, cement works, parks, schools, and a bustling newspaper and postal system. It notes Chauncey Leverich and Austin Nichols as early figures, and traces growth from the Cedar River ford to a modern municipal center.
