Preface.
With Towanda begins the remotest history of the county, and as a souvenir to posterity this volume has been care- fully written — that the deeds and virtues of the heroic pioneers may ever be kept bright ; and that we may revere the memory of " the Fathers and Mothers *' for the valuable lessons their lives have taught us, and for the hardships and privations they so nobly bore, that we might enjoy the fruits and blessings of their labors. Accordingly this volume is most affectionately dedicated to the pioneers, our benefactors, the men and women who founded the settlements, made the county what it is, and the men and boys who offered their lives to save oiir country from disunion. The preparation of this volume has cost months of hard labor — though a work of love — and has been verified as far as possible from official records. However, none are infallible, and from the great multitude of facts here contained, it will not be surprising if errors are disclosed.
