Governer Altgeld’s Odd Fare Tale From The Record

The Chicago Record recalls a little known incident in governor Altgeld life. With no money to pay fare or hire a story, he rode from Mansfield Ohio to Savannah Missouri. At the Mississippi River ferry he had 15 cents left, paid 5 for passage and 5 for a companion who was broke. The rest of his capital funded a sheet of paper, an envelope and a postage stamp used to tell a girl he had reached his western journey and his heart remained true.
