Emigration News and Travel Notes From Lake Pepin
A letter from Prescott, May 2, 1856 describes a westward emigration trend, the growing settlement around Lake Pepin, and a long overland journey by steamer and rail. The writer details Maiden Rock lore, land prospects in townships 23, 24, and 94, range 15, and Red Wing's rapid growth. He recounts rough travel, sawmills, and endurance through rain and tides, ending with a worn but satisfied return home.
