Overview

John Fox Potter (1817-1899) was educated in the east and carved his idyllic homestead, “Lake Side Farm,” from the Wisconsin wilderness. A community leader he was at the founding of the Republican party, and the first Republican, an abolitionist – Black Republican, to serve Wisconsin in the 1st Congressional District, a longtime Democratic stronghold. On the eve of the Civil War he battled the Southern “fire-eaters” on the floor of Congress with his oratory and his fists. Potter “scalped” a fellow congressman; leveled a future Supreme Court jurist; and when challenged, under thecode duello, for insisting that fellow abolitionist’s views be heard – his choice of weapons was the infamous, and barbarous, “bowie knife.” He was a man of action, and a man of introspection. He hosted progressive thinkers at his rural lakeside retreat; including Thomas Wentworth Higginson a radical clergyman who authored the vows attacking the concept of coverture for feminist Lucy Stone’s wedding, and carried on a “correspondence” with Emily Dickinson for decades. After a brief, but tumultuous, service as a Consul to the Canadas, he retired to his “Lake Side Farm” and hosted a group of social and political thinkers and activists from Milwaukee – The Phantom Club.

Monster Mutt Loves it
One of the Guardians of our home ranch adores her. First thing she grabs after waking in the morning. Lila Mae enjoys the shape as well as texture. Considering it keeps the South African queen happy and content. Compared to the Boers past toys which they easily bored of easily, the fem stays dillegent in her quest to capture Jaws. Thanks for reading. Postscript, my jacks have no interest. They can't destroy it
