In the new book about Pepin during the Laura Ingalls Wilder era, why is there a train on the cover? The railroad came to Pepin in 1880. It’s a beautiful cover illustration, though, and I’ll admit that I have a watercolor of the Pepin Depot framed and hanging on the wall, wrong era or no. Now to order the book: $19.90 to T&C Latane, PO Box 62, 412 2nd Street, Pepin WI 54759.
