Good morning.
Whitewater’s Saturday will be sunny, with a high of ninety-one, and light winds from the south.
On this day in 1944, the Allies liberated Paris after four years of Nazi occupation.

The Wisconsin Historical Society marks 8.25.1835 as a step along the way to Wisconsin’s creation:
1835 – Incorporation of the Wisconsin Internal Improvement Company
On this date the Michigan legislature incorporated the Wisconsin Internal Improvement Company to open communication between Green Bay and the Mississippi by land or water. It was also on this day that the Governor of the Michigan territory (the Wisconsin territory was not yet created), Stevens T. Mason, officially called for the creation of a western legistlative council. Both actions were critical to the creation of the Wisconsin Territory. [Source: Card File in WHS Library]
