The Great Canal Improvement Report of 1859 Summary
A detailed 1840s era inquiry documents Wisconsin River and Fox River canal improvements from Fort Winnebago to Green Bay. It covers navigation feasibility, dredging progress, lock and dam construction, rock excavation challenges, cost estimates, and the need for state or federal funding to complete the system. It notes suspensions, contract status, and possible arrangements with a private company to finish the work within two years.
