"A
large portion of the place is in ruins, having been destroyed by fire;
expensive buildings of the Catholic Church, convents, occupy very fine
grounds on the limits of the place at the foot of the mountains, there
is Saint Mary's College, said to be the oldest college in the
country.” Major Frederick Winkler, 26th Wisconsin Infantry, June 1863
