Our pioneer settlers went on hikes for reasons other than to exercise or view the beauty of the countryside. For example, there being no roads other than Indian trails, Peter McVean walked to Neillsville and carried home on his back the necessary supplies, including flour. In the summer of 1870 he walked to Alma Center and brought home a yoke of steers, his first oxen. On another occasion he walked to the same place where he bought a heifer and led her home.
