PREFACE.
There is no proper place in history for the element of fiction. In the correct delineation of a landscape the artist judiciously employs both lights and shades; so the historian must need contrast the true and the false, that the eternal beauty and symmetry of truth appear, but draw upon the imagination, he may never. As in the landscape, the true outline of ob- jects is obscured in the shadows, requiring the full blaze of day to bring them into proper view, so history brings out the facts partially obscured in the haze of tradition-itself never history.
The history of the growth of any branch of knowledge, has a double in- terest; that which comes to it from the knowledge itself, and its relation to the history of the operation of the human mind. Men think under the limitations of their times; they reason on such material as they have; they form their estimate of changes from the facts immediately known to them. What Matthew Arnold has written of man's thoughts as he floats along the "River of Time" is most true. Says he :-
"As is the world on the banks, So is the mind of man. Only the track where he sails . He wots of : only the thoughts Raised by the objects he passes, are his."
Impressions thus received the mind will modify and work upon, trans- mitting the products to other minds in shapes that often seem new, strange, and arbitrary, but which yet result from processes familiar to our experience, and to be found at work in our own individual consciousness. And this is the necessity that renders history, as entirely distinct from tra- dition, imperative. Here the province of the historian begins. It is imperative on him that he record facts as they are, freed from the gloss given them by verbal transmissions.
We know the present status of Page county; know that it ranks among the first in political influence, and is not a whit behind in the intelligence of its people, and its jealous regard for education; know that its material resourses are practically unlimited, and the promise for its future ever brightening. Now, to clearly understand this happy present, its glories and its greatness, its opportunities and its wonders, it is our duty to look

back to their sources. We shall find that the seeds which have so auspi- ciously borne fruit in this present generation, were sown by men tried and true; men who deserve to be remembered, not merely as historic names, but as men in whose broad breasts beat the noblest hearts, and within whose rustic homes were to be found the very bone and sinew of this western world; men whose sterling worth and integrity have contributed very largely to its present high position. Who were these men and what have they done? "Let the mighty mounds that over-look the rivers, or that rise in the dim forests crowded with old oaks," let the records of those dark days when the nation's life was imperilled, answer.
The whole history of this county is one of surpassing interest, and the more it is studied the clearer does it become that underlying its records are certain truths which afford a clew to the causes that have contributed so powerfully to bring it to its present marked prominence. They will be found identical with those which have influenced the history of the nations during many centuries. Albeit they do not possess that far-reaching in- fluence which group the centuries into eras, yet to those immediately inter- ested they are not a whit less tragical. To narrate these facts, is the ob- ject of these pages; with what success this has been done we do not pre- sume to say. It has been our aim to learn and present the truth without favor or prejudice.
It has heretofore been possible for the scholar, with leisure and a comprehensive library, to trace out the written history of his county by patient research among voluminous government documents, and dusty records, sometimes old and scarce; but their sources of information and the times to study them are not at the command of most of those who are intelligently interested in local history, and there are many unpublished facts to be rescued from the failing memories of the oldest residents who would soon have carried their information with them to the grave; and other to be obtained from the citizens best informed in regard to the various pres- sent interests and institutions of the county which should be treated of in giving its history.
This service of research and record, which very few could have under- taken for themselves, the publishers of this work have performed; and while a few unimportant mistakes may perhaps be found in such a multi- tude of details, in spite of the care exercised in the production of the vol- ume, they still confidently present this result of many weeks' labor as a true and orderly narration of all the events in the history of the county which were of sufficient interest to merit such a record.
Under the sway of cause and effect, historic events cannot stand alone- they form an unbroken chain. The history of so limited a territory as a county in Iowa has its roots not only in remote times, but in distant lands, and cannot be justly written out without consulting the influence of such

a foreign element; nor can such a county history be understood in its due relation without a historical review of at least the State of which the county is a part, hence, we feel that in giving such an outline we have been more faithful to the main purpose of the work, while we have added an element of independent interest and value.
In the preparation of this volume the oldest residents and others have cheerfully volunteered their services in the undertaking, adding largely to the value of the results attained. Especial thanks are due to the following gentlemen, who have not only aided us by placing at our disposition much valuable matter, but have themselves devoted much time searching rec- ords, and affording every opportunity in their power to perfect the chro- nological sequence of the data used: W. M. Alexander, County Auditor; R. F. Connor; E. Miller, Author of "Centennial History of Page Co."; J. W. Chaffin, Editor "Clarinda Herald"; N. C. Ridenour, Editor "Page County Democrat"; J. J. Moulton, Editor "Nodaway Chief"; Col. J. R. Morledge; N. B. Moore; L. E. Wilson, County Superintendent of Schools; J. H. Shugart, Esq .; A. J. Crose; C. M. Falk; B. M. Webster; Dr. N. L. Van Sandt and Henry Loranz, County Treasurer. Invaluable aid has been afforded by County Clerk, J. E. Hill; Recorder J. L. Brown, and Mrs. C. B. Shoemaker, the last named having kindly furnished the early files of Page County Herald, complete.
We little doubt that the book will be a welcome one to the inhabitants of Page County, for all take a just pride in whatever calls to mind the scenes and incidents of other days. It is presented in the assurance that the work done will meet with the heartiest approval of our readers; and if, through that commendation, it awakens an earnest spirit of enterprise and emulation among the younger citizens of the county, it will be a source of just pleasure to the PUBLISHERS.
