Northwestern Iowa and Nebraska Excursion Reflects Prairie Growth
A travelogue recounts a nine day journey from LaSalle to Ponca via O B I and P R trains. The group visits Webster and Marshall counties, laments slow rail links, notes LaSalle Peruvian works, Cherokee and Plymouth counties thriving farms, and predicts prairie land will boom with fuel, markets, and settlement as railroads expand.
