Progress of New Counties in Pierce and Surrounding Growth
In the Wisconsin Farmer from February we learn of Pierce County organized January 1 1853 with an assessed value of 25000, and optimistic notes on rapid growth of new counties and western mining and lumbering districts. The Prescott region reports strong crop values and prosperity from settlers, while researchers invite further data on lumbering, mining, and agriculture to enrich the county narrative. The issue also covers European tensions, Canton bombardment, Swiss insurgents, and a St. Paul note on land dealer Mr. Slaughter purchasing Taylor's Falls acreage.
