PREFATORY.
In placing this volume before their patrons the publishers feel that their work will stand the test of candid criticism. They have spared neither endeavor nor expense that could add to this HISTORY OF LOGAN COUNTY to make it all that it should be; and they there- fore feel assured that those citizens who have for a twelvemonth past watched with a friendly interest the progress of the work will not be disappointed with the product of that long period of careful, concentrated labor. That this volume, containing as it does in its 900 broad pages more than 5,000 dates and five times as many names, should be absolutely free from trivial errors, they do not claim, and suppose the citizens of Logan County will not expect; but the publishers have a right to believe-such has been the care bestowed upon the work by competent, experienced writers, print- ers and proof-readers-that even the petty and unimportant class of errors have been mostly avoided, and that essential misstatements of facts will nowhere be found. The riches of historic lore, gath- ered from more than 2,000 pioneers and their descendants by the writers of the HISTORY OF LOGAN COUNTY, have been returned to them in what has seemed an appropriate and acceptable form. It has been the study of the publishers, by aid of all that is most ex- cellent in the art of typography and book-binders' skill, to send forth this work as its worth deserves.
Whatever may be the verdict of those who do not realize the ex- tent of the work, and, therefore, make no allowance for the many different ways the errors may occur, we feel sure that all just and thoughtful people will appreciate our efforts, will recognize the great public benefit that has been accomplished, and will value the work as a memorial in the years to come of the lives and adventures

PREFATORY.
of the early pioneers, of the lives of men prominent in political and business circles, and of individuals of less note, but none the less necessary to the county's history, that would otherwise have passed into oblivion. In compliance with an expressed wish of many of the citizens of Logan County, we have thought best to supplement our work with a succinct history of Illinois, in which we have begun the tracing of historical events at the earliest period, following down the stream of time to the present, noting many important incidents which will doubtless be of much interest to every reader of these pages.
