I found a primary source from McIntyre Library archive department at UWEC which is a book and it had information about lands that was not covered in the Putnam Park Deed. Previously I was interested in knowing about what happened to the lands that was not covered by Putnam Park but played certain role in establishing Putnam Park. In this primary source I found in the archive, had informations about those lands. This is why I selected this source to carry on my research and this source will definitely help answer some of the question that I had unclear in mind previously.

            This source I have will enable me to build my invented ethos and credibility because it has primary information which explains clearly about each land that was not in Putnam Park Deed but in a way it is part of Putnam Park. I can invent my ethos by giving more than one example of lands that were not part of Putnam Park but played a role as a whole about Putnam Park.

            This source contains information about several piece of lands and what was the purpose of those lands. To begin, there were several parts of land that was already regarded as part of Putnam Park which were acquired by the City of Eau Claire by separate conveyance and most of it was done unconditionally. Since most of it was done unconditionally, they were never subjected to any restriction, reservations, and reversionary rights of the original Putnam deed.

For the records, these parcels are described as follows:

            This source is very helpful in understanding the use of lands that are not covered by the park. I got to know the lands that are actually part of Putnam Park’s establishment, what they were used for, who was handling those lands, etc. The only doubt I have is since they agree to distribute this land accordingly with no problems, why weren’t this information be included in the deed?

            For now, my understanding on the lands that is not covered by Putnam Park deed in better. I learnt that there are more towards a park then just thinking parks as a place to hang out, exercise, and have fun. This source made me think out of the box and realize to think and ask more questions to understand a specific topic or in this case about Putnam Park. From here I would like to know more about Putnam Park committee.
