January 8, 1967, Appleton Post-Crescent
Today's blog post is about an amazing man who tramped the Fox River Valley on foot, delivering mail to neighboring communities in the 1830's before Menasha was even a village. If for no other reason than to highlight the extreme conditions of the area at that time, we present his story. I cannot imagine the long distances he walked on foot...and then to retrace his Green Bay to Chicago route on foot at age 85; I get winded walking up the stairs!
