THE STATE OF WISCONSIN COLLECTION
Log book of Preston Reynolds: one of the 4 river rovers on a trip down the Wisconsin, Mississippi and up the Rock and Yaharra Rivers
This log book kept by Preston ("Pick") Reynolds documents a canoe trip he made with three other young men from Madison, Wisconsin in 1903. The trip began in what is now Wisconsin Dells and proceeded down the Wisconsin River to the Mississippi as far as Rock Island, Illinois, and then started up the Rock River. The trip was supposed to continue up the Rock and Yahara Rivers to Madison. Instead, the "4 River Rovers" completed the trip by train from Coloma, Illinois. Reynolds’s companions included "Pucks" Anderson, "Chub" Fowler, and Sid Jackson (later a founder of the Jackson Clinic in Madison). In addition to colorful descriptions of their adventures, Reynolds has illustrated the volume with many pen and ink and wash drawings.
