The Last Word

September 19, 1897, Chicago Chronicle

I promise that this is the last word on the whole Columbus statue affair of 1897.  But the depth of snarky commentary and needling of our fair city by this newspaper was just too complete and audacious to pass up and I needed to share this with you.  Even the illustrations were a marvel.  Did they send an artist to Menasha to do a sketch of the downtown area?  Amazing.
