     "There is Uncle William Delashmutt, in Oskaloosa, who tells the Herald that ‘in 1838 the boats in the Mississippi ran all the winter to Prairie du Chien, or Fort Crawford, then the northermost port for regular trips. It was a warm and open winter. The next winter, ’39 ’40, made up for it. We lived in Burlington. Everything froze up. Goods were brought from St. Louis on the ice. Salt cost $6 per barrel; bacon 30 cents per pound; flour $20 per barrel, and other thins in proportion. The winter of 1838 was a very pleasant one—and this is the nearest to it I have seen since.’”.^4,5
