Recollections of a Pioneer at Davenport Ceremony
Mr President and audience at the Forty-fifth Scott County Pioneer festival hear a long life narrative. The speaker recalls Brimstone Corner, log cabins, early farming, and building mills, with rich references to Lafayette, Napoleon, and many wars. He claims vast building work in New Orleans, land deeds, and sea adventures, ending with arrival at Davenport on July 4 1842 and a promise to continue.
