_____
Asaph Whittlesey was the first white man to build a home and settle in what is now Ashland. When he felled the first tree, he said, “This will be the site of a great city.” Whittlesey later served in the Wisconsin Legislature. At the time, the nearest train station was in Chippewa Falls and the only way to get there was to walk the 150 miles. A photograph of Whittlesey, in his winter garb and snowshoes, has become a locally well-known historical depiction.
