Notes on Lone Rock and Richland City Travel Tale
A travel note describes a late 19th century survey of Lone Rock and Richland City, Wisconsin. It covers origin of Lone Rock’s name, the fortuitous limestone bluff, and the harsh sandy prairie, with sketches of the Wisconsin River valley, local geology, and a visit to a nearly deserted Richland City as a stage route progresses toward Bear Creek. The narrator details town layouts, roads, and a jokey exchange about windmills and town growth.
