Chicago.
Erom the Galena GazetteA

The first wagon that ever went
through from Galena to Chicago was
sent by Mr.. James G. Soulard, in
1929, with lead of lead. From the
Galena Advertiser, published by
Newhall & Philleo) September IA,
1929, we clip the following. Notice
how it describes the location OF
Chicago, it being a place which most
Galenians had never heard of before ::
Mr.. James G. Soulard's wagon
and mule team returned, few days
since, from Chicago, near the south
west bend of Lake Michigan, to which
place it had been taken across the
country with load of lead. This IS
the first wagon that has ever passed
from the. mississippi to Chicago. The
route taken from the mines was, to
OgIo's Ferry, on Rock River, so
miles thence east 60 miles to the
missionary establishment on the Fox
River of the Illinois, and thence. a
northeasterly course, 60 miles to
Chicago-as travelled, 200 miles. The
wagon was loaded with / IL tons of
lead. The trip out was performed in
IL and the return in 8 days. The
lead was taken by water from Chica-
go TO Detroit. Should a road be sur.
veyed and marked on the best ground
and the shortest distance, a trip could
be performed in much less time.
Ard if salt could be obtained at
Chicago, from the New York Salt
Works it would be profitable and
advantageous trade.
