"...A Favored Child of Nature..."

from The History of Northern Wisconsin (1881), The Western Historical Company, Chicago

 

The above illustration is from yet another old history which gives the story of northeastern Wisconsin in quite some detail up to 1881.  As befitting the originators of this town, their focus was initially largely upon a certain island and indeed, the portion of the quote titling this post is taken from the author's recollection of Doty island in its early days.
