EXPLANATION.
It was the first purpose of the author of this book
to write a history that would only be read in the
homes of the county; but, after much deliberation
and consultation with those best fitted to know, it
was decided to condense the work and put it in a
form that could be studied as a supplementary reader
in the public schools of this county.
Believing that such a study would tend to culti-
vate that patriotism which is the heritage of every
American citizen, and cause our youths to look with
a greater degree of reverence upon the early settlers
of this county, the writer makes this explanation
for the benefit of those who have so kindly given
the data which this book contains, that they may
know why some of the smaller details are left out.
The sketches of Indian depredations necessarily had
to be condensed for school purposes. The author
also wishes to express a sincere appreciation to the
following friends who have assisted greatly in the
compiling of this history: Mr. Bud Morris, Mr. Cash
McDonald, Mr. C. Moore, Mr. C. Grant, Mr. Joe Box,
Mr. Bob Savage, Mr. Levi Perryman, Mr. W. R. Bel-
lows, Mr. S. G. Dowell, Mrs. Charlie Moore, Mrs.
Charlie Grant, Mrs. Levi Blankenship, Mrs. Nettie
Bellows, Mrs. Bob Savage, Mrs. Chesley Marlett.
