The foregoing history is prepared from such materials as were at command, and from necessity is brief, and in some instances, expecially in regard to the early pioneers, from want of reliable data, is perhaps incomplete. But is has been the endeavor to use such matters and facts only as might be safely relied on as authentic, and in the main it is hoped and believed that they may be found substantially correct.
