Bodbank (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Bodbank
T 0 know the little city is to feel the past and sense the future. To know it is to be able to pic ture it as it was in the middle of the last century, when the brick-paved levees at the bottom of the hill welcomed side wheelers, river gamblers, and, on one occasion, Abraham Lincoln. The Missis sippi, broad, brown and lazy, flows by the town to-day unchanged, and beyond its expanse of water, warm in corn weather, and its ice floes, white flicked, as if paper had been scattered, when winter has settled in the Illinois prairies, rise the Iowa bluffs, tree-crested, above which the thunderstorms of the summer months raise their glowering cloud heads.
