I had not seen many of his pictures before. They are very nice, and valuable. Awhile ago when I was researching Galena, Illinois, I bumped into a story about some Swiss people who came to the Red River Settlement in 1821, and left a couple of years later. They also went to St. Louis, then back up to Illinois, and to Galena by the end of the Black Hawk Indian War in 1832. I have no idea what I was searching for when I found it, but here is the link: http://jodaviess.ilgenweb.net/Obits/JChetlain.htm One very small quibble with the article by Clifford Wilson you gave us a link to in the Part One - Galena is in Illinois, not Wisconsin (in the northwestern corner, very close to Wisconsin and Iowa). In the obit, the town of Grundy Center, Iowa, is probably less than a hundred miles straight west of Galena, Illinois. Keep up the good work!
