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

To fit within the confines of this format, there is some reduction which might have affected the look for you.
