Mr. Dickinson arrived in Janesville by rail and stage

The evidence

• “Mr. Dickinson had a perilous ride by stage from his home town to Rome, where he took the ears and arrived in Janesville on the 16th of November, 1854, coming by rail to Afton, the terminus, and finished his journey by stage. Not being satisfied with Janesville, he started for Watertown, and arrived at Forrest House Station, now Wauwatosa, which was as far as he could go by rail.”
