At first all grain was marketed in Milwaukee. Mr. Patchen, Hall Chandler, and father hauled many a load of wheat there, and received from forty to fifty cents a bushel for it.

I was the first to pay tax in money in the town. I could not raise the required six dollars in three towns and was afraid my land would be sold. While in this quandary I met Hall Chandler one morning and he said to me: "Gunof, have you paid your taxes yet?" "No," said I. "Well," he replied, "I tell you what: You have two pigs, I have none. I have two wolf scalps over home. Give me one pig for them and you can get your money." I jumped at the chance, took the scalps and walked to Madison the next day, where I obtained the bounty and paid my tax.

"When I came back, I saw a man cutting down trees on my land and I approached him to form his acquaintance. 'Hello! how are you?' said he. 'Have you bought this land?' "I have, " said I. "All right,' said he, 'these logs are yours then. I supposed this was government timber, but if you have bought the land they are yours. I'd rather have a good neighbor than all the logs.' That was my first meeting with Hall Chandler. Two years later when I returned to take possession, the four logs were still lying where cut.

"Like most pioneers, we stole all our timber for rails and buildings from the government lands. But we had to haul it away as soon as cut as anyone could claim it. Hall Chandler would set out in the morning with his oxen and split 50 rails till noon, loading them on as he split them, and repeat it in the afternoon. We fenced only our fields and meadows in those days, pasturing in common, and the early records of the town are filled with notices of estrays." [...]

• Reference: a Pineries experience, 1906, WI. p722-723
On Lawrence Post […]
While searching for work he met a stranger who induced him to become a companion on a trip to the Wisconsin pineries. The trip began on March 14 and was afoot by the way of Madison and Portage to Stevens Point at which point his companion took passage in a stage coach and left young Post to complete the journey alone. He finally reached his destination walking forty five miles the last day of his journey and arriving at nightfall, tired and hungry, with but a three-cent piece representing his supply of cash. To add to his discomfiture the mills all had their full complement of men and the rafting crews had their necessary quotas. But with his three-cent piece he purchased a loaf of bread, and this together with a drink of cold water constituted his morning meal after which he started out in search of employment. After working for his board several days he secured a position as cook on a raft with St Louis as the destination and his compensation for the trip was to be sixty dollars. Reaching Fulton, Ill. he accepted fifty dollars as payment in full for his services and taking the first steam boat to Galena, thence walked to Mineral Point, Wis., and from

there back to the town of Perry reaching home in July. Soon thereafter he was taken sick with the prevailing fever and ague and for two months he was unable to do anything, his money all being spent for medical relief. After his recovery he hired out as a farm hand and for about a year worked for Hall Chandler, receiving ten dollars per month for his services. At the end of that time he was again attacked with a serious illness, and after recovering went to the city of Madison and secured lighter employment for a few months after which he returned and worked for Mr. Chandler until the spring of 1861.
