Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Lafayette County, Mo;, Carefully Written and Compiled: From the Most Authentic Official and Private Sources, Including a History of Its Townships, Cities, Towns, and Villages In our diligent search for four months seeking the information embodied in this history, a few men have been indifferent about it, but almost universally we were met with welcome, and those who could furnish information were glad to do so. And a few have taken such pains to render us valuable assistance that we wish to make our special acknowledgments to them for it. Ethan Allen, Esq., furnished us the oldest files of Lafayette county newspapers now in existence. Captain Andrews, the deputy county clerk, has our thanks for the uniform kindness and good will with which he aided us in our frequent occasions to examine the musty and mouldy old records in the county vaults. We are indebted to Captain A. A. Lesueur, editor of the Lexington Intelligencer, for personal favors that were helpful; also to G. Clayton, John Burden, and E. Winsor, for loan of scrap-books containing many valuable records, narratives, military orders, official reports, and other documents of the war time not found in any of the printed histories. To Dr. J. B. Alexander for many favors; to Henry Turner, postmaster, for bound files of the Lexington Register; to H. C. Chiles, Esq., for his Centennial Fourth of July history of the county; to Dr. Gordon for special assistance in regard to old and long-forgotten pioneer school matters; to Captain J. O. Wilson, of Lexington, and Col. W. F. Switzler, of Columbia, Mo., for loan of valuable books; to the Lexington Intelligencer company for free access to all their files, etc., etc. It was a vast work. This county has had a long and intensely history-making career. We found material plenty to make three books instead of one; and the burden of difficulty was to select those things which would be of most permanent interest and value to our patrons, and then condense them to the necessary limits of the promised volume.
