When Do We Get To Aurora?:

George Wolfer and the building of the Colony Village

 

"When do we get to Aurora?" twenty-one year old George Wolfer asked his friend Henry Fry as he approached  the Aurora Colony in 1863. "You are right in Aurora, George," Henry told him.  "So taken aback was I," George later remembered, "that the breath was nearly taken out of me.”
