La Crosse, and Scenery Above, 1874 - A Glimpse into the Vibrant Past of a Bustling City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1874. Taken by John J. Harley, it offers a glimpse into the bustling city situated on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. The image showcases a steamboat landing on the river, serving as a vital lifeline for trade and transportation during that era. The town of La Crosse itself is depicted against a backdrop of picturesque scenery further upstream. Built upon vast prairies where Native American tribes once gathered for their legendary ball-playing game known as "la crosse" this thriving city has inherited its name from this rich cultural heritage. As we venture above La Crosse, we witness how the valley widens considerably along with an intricate network of islands dotting the river's surface. These islands are adorned with dense shrub-oak vegetation while occasional cotton-woods reach great heights towards the sky. Harley's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides us with valuable insights into America's past. It reminds us of La Crosse's industrial prowess and its importance as both a trading hub and manufacturing center during that period. Through this remarkable visual documentation found within "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant, we can appreciate how history intertwines with nature to create breathtaking landscapes that continue to inspire awe even today.
