have in our possession two copies of the
Manitouwoc IIla d issued in April,
1858, over thirteen years ago. Ihis is
but a shor. space of time 10 some who
have lived and had their being for may
hap three quarters Of century, but this
short vista of time becomes great when
we remember it was but few years
ere then that ouI present fourishing
town and county were Inhabited sole y by
the red-skin. whose war-whoop resounded
from hill to hill and who padded his ca
noe where now is built and stands the
busiest part OF Manitowoc. Taking this
view, we cannot but look with revel ance
a. these records Of times gone bye, when
what is now thriving village was then a
! little hamlet with a few rude houses. The
paper was then in its third year, and was
published every Saturday morning, by
