June 21, 1975, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern
From The Golden Northwest by James Maitland, Chicago: The Rollins Publishing Company, 1879.
"Menasha is a picturesque town which is situated at the foot of Lake Winnebago, where it finds its outlet through the Fox River. The charming little body of water known as Lake Butte des Morts, just southwest washes the confines of the place. Between the beauties and advantages of these lakes and the river, the visitor has opportunities of the best sort to indulge his taste for fishing, hunting, boating or sailing, to his heart's content."
So, after almost a hundred years after those words were first written, Menasha still fulfilled this writer's vision of the city. And today, after another almost fifty years on top of it, the conclusion still stands.
