"Our early settlers came from many different walks of life, and from many different countries. It is hard to realize what some of them must have faced. For some, everything was new. They came here having never farmed, and unable to speak the language; only with the promise that for ten dollars they could carve out their very own home. They didn't know how hard that might be. Some came following the railroad to work, and once the rails moved on, decided to stay. Others came to set up a business to serve the new population." - iv. Includes over four-hundred pages of family histories, an Honor Roll, and a partial list of those buried in the Dapp Cemetery. Gift details and prior owners' names written upon front free endpaper, otherwise clean, bright and unmarked with light wear.
