Excerpt from History of Harrison County, Iowa: Including a Condensed History of the State, the Early Settlement of the County, Its Topography, and Natural Advantages
Don't run! I shall not be long-winded. Just hold a minute as I have but a few words to say, and I always despise long intro ductions to books as well as to sermons. I will make this brief. My intent has been, on each subject called up, to strike oil in five or ten minutes, and in case there was a failure, then to with draw my auger and quit boring.
The following pages contain a brief, unvarnished narrative of many of those incidents which took place in the growth of this county, the greater part of which have been under my own im mediate observation. Having tabernacled with the people of this countv continuously for the past thirty-one years, recollec tion unaided by records would enable me to bring out many of the past transactions, but in that set forth herein I have on every occasion verified bv reference to records.
