the Thoreau Log.
15 June 1861. St. Paul, Minn.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  At St. Pauls. From St. Anthony to St. Pauls . . .

  Walked in p.m. across bridge south of St. Pauls (Thoreau’s Minnesota Journey, 19).

Horace Mann Jr. writes to his mother Mary on 17 June:

. . . very strong cool wind blowing. In the afternoon we went over the St. Paul Bridge over the Mississippi and took a walk of several miles and found a few new plants. The bridge is a very long one and descending the whole way from St. Paul to the other bank, for it commences on a bluff of sandstone at St. Paul about 100 ft high and goes down to almost the level of the river on the other side.
(Thoreau’s Minnesota Journey, 54)
