Description
Excerpt from History of Boone County, Iowa, Vol. 1
This history of Boone County, of her people and institutions, has been carefully prepared under no little difficulty and many tribula tions. The great majority of the pioneers are gone and but a few of those remaining place sufficient reliance upon their memories to venture a positive assertion in relation to the important and interest ing events which took place during the formative period of the county; from them no assistance in securing data was obtained. How ever, the people of this community are fortunate in having still among them such men of sterling worth, intellectual capacity and integrity as C. L. Lucas, of Madrid, and George W. Crooks, of Boone. Their memories seem to be faultless as to facts, and to them Boone County is indebted for the excellence and accuracy of this chronicle of local events. C. L. Lucas prepared many of the chapters herein, in their entirety, including all the townships; Mr. Crooks prepared certain of the articles and furnished a fund of information as a foundation for others. To them the editor and publishers by this token desire to give thanks, and also to numerous other courteous and encouraging citizens of the county, who contributed in any way toward making this work possible.
