The History of the city of

     This has to have been one of the most interesting books I have transcribed for the Memorial Library. The story keeps you always wanting to read on and find what will happen next. From the vast open prairie to the city of thousands. 

     Pam Rietsch also created an all name index (4200 names.. phew!) and also copied all of the ads that were included in the book of almost 400 pages. Enjoy!
