“While standing there [banks of Mississippi] in such a desolate spot, contemplate and imagine if possible that within fifty years, out from the sands of the echoing shore there shall arise a populous and modern metropolis.”
-Nathan Myrick, letter to Mayor Copeland on the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of La Crosse, January 28th, 1892
