Annie Laurie and a proposed railway from Prairie du Chien to La Crosse
The piece mingles lyrics about Annie Laurie with a report on a local effort to build a railway from Prairie du Chien to La Crosse. It cites a meeting in La Crosse area, quotes Col. Du Chien as speaker, and estimates the railroad could run about fifty eight miles with a cost of around 200000 dollars raised by subscriptions. The plan envisions Upper Mississippi trade boosting the project and ties to the Illinois Central.
