My recollections of Milan are somewhat scanty as I left the town when I was not quite seven years old. I remember the wheat elevators on the canal, and Gay shipyard; also the launching of new boats, on which occasion the piece of land called the "Hogback" would be filled with what seemed to me to be the entire population of the Town who came to witness the launching.

I also recall a public square filled at times with farmers teams and also what seemed to be to be an immense number of teams that came to town bringing oak staves for barrels. I can just remember seeing a number of Prairie Schooners encamped in front of our house. This was about 1849 or 1850, when I was but a mere infant and I learned afterwards that these Prairie Schooners were carrying adventurers going to California to hunt for gold. Yours very truly, Signed-Thomas Edison. The Sandusky Register, Decemeber 31, 1922.
