I had some ancestors that went from Stavanger to Quebec to Chicago. What was the most likely means of travel from Quebec to Chicago? circa 1869 |
| jwiborg | By train.
Transportation by rail from Quebec to Chicago costed about ten American dollars in 1869.
Read this article; [url="http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/pubs/nas/volume33/vol33_07.htm"]Concerning Emigration?[/url], posted in the Norwegian "Billed-Magazin", spring 1869.
It's interesting reading, and decribes several routes to the west, and how to cross Lake Michigan.
