Green Bay

a short distance in the interior the land is but little occupied, affording many good locations for the emigrant who wishes to make agriculture his business. The bay and river affords a perfectly secure harbor without the aid of piers or any other works. Steamboats of the largest class have landed at the shores and discharge their cargo and passengers. Efforts are now making to build a steam boat at Fond du Lac to run on the upper Wisconsin of the Neenah in connection with the "Black Hawk" a small steam boat intended to ply between Green Bay and the foot of the rapids.

Green Bay is 124 miles from Milwaukee way of Fond du Lac or 116 by way of the United States road, by [way of] Sheboygan and Manitowoc: 34 miles from Manitowoc & 63 from Sheboygan, & sixty [60] miles from Fond du Lac.

The following table exhibits the value of the goods and articles of all kinds imported and exported to and from Green Bay as reported by Col. Albert of the U.S. Topographical Engineers from 1836 to 1841 inclusive.
