Growth of a Western Town Through War and Time
The article traces a frontier town from its 1830s beginnings to a bustling 30 000 population, describing early scarcity and later expansion. It notes war erasing prior growth, residents enlisting in Union forces, and the town’s decline and rebuilding as infrastructure and brick buildings rise on hills, with rivers and borders shaping its development.
