Beaver Dam, Wisconsin: the Garden City(Bird's eye view of the city of Beaver Dam, Dodge Co., Wisconsin 1867. Drawn by A. Ruger.)Upon the eastern shore of a placid lake, nestling beneath the brow and along the crest of a semicircularhill of such gradual elevation and gentle slope that the housetops in the dimpled valleys on either sideare scarcely hidden one from the other; shaded by the branches of lovely maples, elms and oaks, clustered here and there together in veritable Eden bowers; wrapped in an atmosphere whose balmy, lifeprolonging breath fans you in the face at every step and meets you round the corner like a perfumedzephyr escaped from Paradise, lies the city of Beaver Dam-the Garden City of Dodge County- noted forits palatial residences, and enterprising citizens, and famed for its beautiful women and chivalric men.Beaver Dam Genealogy and Local History2
