The voyage across the ocean was made in six weeks by sailing vessel. The party went from New York to Albany by steamboat, thence to Buffalo in freight-cars, to Chicago by steamboat, to Peru by canal- boat and from there 011 to An- dover in wagons. Traveling by sea or land in those days was fraught with great peril and Orion privation. While on the Atlan- tic the mother and the youngest child of the family died and were PETER WESTERLUND buried at sea. The father with the five remaining children ...reached Andover in November, having started on the journey on the 25th of May.
Peter, then a boy of eleven, was hired out by his father to a farmer near Galesburg for four years, but at the end of two years he broke the contract and returned home.
Peter Westerlund was one of a party of seven Swedes who in 1859, at the time of the Pike's Peak gold craze, started out from the Andover neighborhood in quest of the precious metal. They visited the site of Denver when it was marked by only two small houses of frame, named re- spectively Aurora and Denver.
