Gerhard Gesell's Alma: Mississippi River Town

Gerhard Gesell's Alma: Mississippi River Town. "...Gerhard Gesell's prolific career as a photographer began in Reads Landing, Minnesota, in 1873, but three years later he moved across the Mississippi River to Alma, Wisconsin, where he opened a photography studio at 401 S. Main Street. There, Gesell carefully documented the town, its people and culture, capturing the integral role the Mississippi River played in the lives of the people of Alma."
