Editorial Correspondence from La Crosse Sept 27 1859
In La Crosse a fog delays the Milwaukee boat for six hours then prompts a stay for travelers. Sykes Museum offers curiosities to pass the time and hotels in Prescott are adequate. An accident on the Milwaukee and Minnesota railroad near Midland kills a baggage man and injures others, with a $1000 reward for the saboteurs. Train times shift, and Capt Davidson’s Favorite becomes a new local boat arrival.
