While looking at the Lincoln Courier Centennial Paper I saw this excerpt they included from the ILLINOIS STATE JOURNAL, Springfield , December 2, 1847: The citizens of Logan County, in conjunction with the county commissioners, are building a free bridge on Salt Creek a few rods below Musick's toll bridge on Salt Creek. This speaks well for the citizens of Logan; the toll bridge there is a perfect monoply - charging more than paid to cross the Mississippi at St. Louis. # Found it interesting ...hope some other Musick researchers enjoy the small article.
