Beaver Dam, Wisconsin: the Garden City

(Bird's eye view of the city of Beaver Dam, Dodge Co., Wisconsin 1867. Drawn by A. Ruger.)

Upon the eastern shore of a placid lake, nestling beneath the brow and along the crest of a semicircular

hill of such gradual elevation and gentle slope that the housetops in the dimpled valleys on either side

are scarcely hidden one from the other; shaded by the branches of lovely maples, elms and oaks, clus-

tered here and there together in veritable Eden bowers; wrapped in an atmosphere whose balmy, life-

prolonging breath fans you in the face at every step and meets you round the corner like a perfumed

zephyr escaped from Paradise, lies the city of Beaver Dam-the Garden City of Dodge County- noted for

its palatial residences, and enterprising citizens, and famed for its beautiful women and chivalric men.
