HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
INTRODUCTION.
O YUSTOM has made it a law, which we may not violate with impunity, that an introductory should precede the presenta- tion of the subject matter contained in the pages that follow. Whatever may have been necessary in the experiments of others, therefore, must be equally so in this; yet, the labor and research that have been bestowed in the preparation of the body of the work must in a measure compensate for the particularity that might otherwise be deemed essential as introductory matter. If what has been written in the succeeding pages for the edification of the present and coming generations, concerning what has been done in the past. in the inseparable connection which links it with the present, shall be appreciated and accepted in the spirit of ear- nest investigation for the development and preservation of the essential truths of our history, the labors of the anthor and com- With a view, then, of conforming our plan of arrangement to the idea suggested, in what has been written of the history of Carroll County in the succeeding pages, the matter has been divid- ed and placed nudor appropriate heads, as periods, significant of its character, for the double purpose of putting in possession of the local reader iuformation pertinent to Carroll County, and, as introductory thereto, a fair review of the discoveries and explora ican continent in which we, as a nation, are interested: of its ab original inhabitants in their family and tribal relations; something of the early adventurers who labored in the movement toward civ- ilization on the continent, in the great Territory of the Northwest, in the Territory and State of Indiana, and in the Wabash Valley; of the outline history of our State, civil, political and social, with a concise presentation of its natural history -- designed to give the leading features in those departments which it is believed every citizen should understand- together with a statement of what is known concerning the Mound-Builders. and other pertinent pre- historie remains. piler will not have been in vain. It is not possible, in the very nature of things, to anticipate, in the selection and arrangement of matter, for a work of this class especially, the peculiar wants and expectations of individual minds; hence, while it is desirable to meet the reasonable approbation of the masses for whom the book is designed, the considerate reader owes it to his or her own good sense of. propriety to ponder well the evidences addnced in ! tions antedating the first settlements on that portion of the Amer- support of a controverted statement, and the reasonableness of the construction of it, before passing judgment upon the integrity of the statement itself. Again, what is hereinafter submitted has not been prepared from any motive involving mere pecuniary con- siderations, but from an innate desire to do equal an exact justice to the subject which has been placed in the author's hands for dis- cussion and elaboration. That some errors of judgment and errors of fact may have been committed is not improbable. for it is hn- man to err; but nothing has been written and presented except what was believed to be just and true, or within the range of rea- sonable probability.
