Map Revisited


May 28, 1948, Appleton Post-Crescent

Here's a good synopsis of how Menasha got its start, and it also features the map we showcased in yesterday's post.  This is from the Post-Crescent's special edition from 1948, commemorating the 100th year of statehood.  The story of the boat captain who favored Menasha is a fun anecdote of how one can influence things.  And the back and forth over bridges is another whimsical touch to a tenuous relationship the two communities have always had.

  1. Looks to be a great article David, but most of it is just too blurry to make out. Is that the best copy available?

  2. I've updated the news article illustrations; hopefully the resolution is better now. If not, message me via my email in the "View My Complete Profile" link and I can send you the files. To fit within the confines of this format, there is some reduction which might have affected the look for you.
