Description
Excerpt from History of Tama County, Iowa: Its Cities, Towns and Villages, With Early Reminiscences, Personal Incidents and Anecdotes and a Complete Business Directory of the County
Although in the compilation of the work much time has been spent, and therefore it has been quite tedious, yet it has not been unmixed with pleasure. Many days and nights have I spent in listening to the stories of the old pioneers; ever hearing some thing new; now laughing and then crying, as the ludicrous or the pathetic was narrated; and then in the study of the character of our fathers and those of the present generation, time with me has slipped quickly by.
And now, at the close of my labor, I cannot lay down my pen without returning thanks to the many kind friends who have assisted me in obtaining information, and have encouraged me from time to time with words of cheer.
