Jane, Thank you for that information, I will look into that book, sounds like it might be a book I add to my collection. I guess the second volume of the Ensign's didn't show up in your search. Thank you, Barbara

My library requires a library card number and a pin number to log on to HeritageQuest from their website.) Ensign & Thayer's travellers' guide through the States of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin : with railroad, canal, stage, and steamboat routes, accompanied with a new map of the above states. Publisher: Ensign, Bridgman & Fanning If you can't access this and need lookups, let me know.
