Wisconsin's river and harbor pleas shape 12 year drive
Wisconsin legislators repeatedly urged Congress to fund river and harbor improvements across the state. From 1870 to 1882, memorials pressed for Fox and Wisconsin rivers, Port Washington, Milwaukee, St. Croix, Kewaunee harbors, ship canals, and fishways. The piece defends delegation votes on the river and harbor bill, noting bipartisan support and the risk of delaying needed projects. It condemns critics while detailing the sustained campaign and specific harbor interests.
