This interesting article chronicles Elisha Smith's journey to Menasha when the village was essentially at the edge of a wilderness. Dodging tree stumps and getting mired in mud between Sheboygan and Fond du Lac before boarding a boat for the final leg of his journey, it's a wonder he stuck it out and didn't go back to Rhode Island. Mrs. Smith must have had a tremendous amount of faith in Mr. Smith's judgement.
