In a lifetime that spanned only 29 years, Chauncey Leverich lived a life rich with adventure, entrepreneurship, legal battles and hardships. Yet, he never lost his vision of founding a city. He stated ÒHere I will pitch my tent and here I will found a city.Ó Other historical accounts cite that while standing on the banks of the Cedar River, he said ÒHere is my homeÓ and after shooting a quail added Òand here is my meat!Ó The city he founded became known as Austin, Minnesota.
