Arago: Hotel Room Key Tokens

Owney received this hotel room check key token for room #40 from the Kampeska House hotel in Watertown, South Dakota. During the years that Owney could have visited the hotel, it was run by Cincinatus C. Wiley, a Civil War veteran originally from Massachusetts. Owney may have arrived in Watertown on one of a number of railway lines, including the Minneapolis & St. Paul; the Northwestern; or the Burlington & Cedar Rapids.
