A recounting by HY Preta describes treacherous clay roads and sluggish progress as an early traveler journeys by ferry and horse, noting mud, fatigue, and makeshift camps along the line between La Crescent and Cane, with political discussions and election chatter shaping the trip.
The account recalls early river crossings and freight flows near Grand Crossing, La Crosse and the Milwaukee road era. It mentions ferries, a steamer named McGree, a bridge construction, and local packers moving merchandise. Names like Moulton, Vinmond Jo tine, Kyherts, and Pitwchurch appear in a fragmented reminiscence of 1870s railway and river trade along the Mississippi.
