Subject: Tanner question




Hello,

I have a patron question concerning H.S. Tanner:

"His U. S. maps of 1836 - 1839 show an "Economy" at the location of present-day Saukville, WI, north of Milwaukee, which was evidently a "paper town." I would like to know his source for this information".

Can anybody offer some commentary on his question?

Thanks
