PREFACE.
MIIE undersigned, who entered a year ago upon the task of preparing an exhaustive and correct history of Cass County, place the result of their labors before their patrons, with a feeling of confidence that it will be fully indorsed by them, as it already has been by the Pioneer Society through its committees appointed for the purpose of revising it. The publishers believe that they have not only fulfilled, but exceeded the expecta- tions of those who have taken a friendly interest in their work, and that the volume which has been produced by them will receive the favorable criticism of all candid people qualified to judge of the character of its con- tents. No pains nor expense have been spared to make the history all that it should be. Our writers have labored with well-directed diligence to rescue from oblivion all of the essential facts which should enter into a work upon the past of this region of country, and to group them in the most appropriate manner possible. In this labor, always a difficult one, they have received the willing and hearty co-operation of those people who have been the depositories of the desired information. While we rest assured that we and they have been the faithful stewards of the riches of historic lore bestowed by a thousand of the pioneers of the county, and that the facts they have furnished are returned to them in a form which will be acceptable, we are not so pre- sumptuous as to think that the history of Cass County will be absolutely free from trivial errors. That a book which contains at least ten thousand dates, and thrice ten thousand names can be accurate in every line, no thinking person can expect. But we do believe such has been the care bestowed on the preparation of the present work, that its trivial errors are reduced to the minimum-that the sins of omission and commission are not numerous. The publishers wish to return their most sincere thanks on their own behalf, and that of those in their employ, to the pioneers of the county who have, often at much self-denial, assisted them in securing the data for this work. To mention the names of all of those whose courtesy and cordiality have been appre- ciated would be impossible, for their number is hundreds; but we cannot refrain from mentioning the names of a few of this class, whose positions have enabledl them to be of especial service. And first we may perhaps place the name of the venerable Capt. Joseph Harper. The Hon. George B. Turner has also been a valued "guide, philosopher and friend," and the store of his information has been largely. drawn from. Others in Cassopolis, to whom thanks should be returned for favors rendered in the preparation of the work, are Messrs. John Tietsort, Elias B. Sherman, S. T. Read, Hon. James M. Shepard, C. C. Allison, Judge Andrew J. Smith, Judge William P. Bennett and L. II. Glover, Esq. Elsewhere in the county, the following may be mentioned : La Grange-Orlean Putnam, IIon. Jesse G. Beeson, Gamaliel Townsend, Isaac Shurte, Stephen D. Wright; Pokagon-Robert J. Dickson, John Rodgers, Alexander Robertson, D. W. Hurd, Rev. John Byrnes; Penn- John W. O'Dell, Daniel McIntosh, Dr. Leander Osborn, David M. Howell, W. E. Bogue, IIon. Amos Smith ; Ontwa-Joseph L. Jacks, George Redfield, Moses Il. Lee, J. C. Olmstead, Hon. John B. Sweetland; Volinia -M. J. Gard, Hon. George Newton, John IIuff, Hon. A. B. Copley, H. S. Rogers ; Marcellus-W. O. Mat- thews, Abijah IIuyek, George W. Jones, George Savage; Porter-Hon. George Meacham, Hon. J. II. Hitchcox, F. C. Morton, Samuel Rinehart ; Mason-IIenry Thompson, R. C. Ross, D. Bishop ; Jefferson-S. C. Tharp, Judge M. T. Garvey, Jonathan Colyar ; Milton-Wesley Smith, N. B. Dennis, Ilenry Aldrich ; Howard -Hon. E. C. Smith. Hon. James Shaw ; Wayne-IIon. II. B. Wells, Cyrus J. Gage, Lafayette Atwood ; Dowagiac-Francis J. Mosher. B. W. Schermerhorn, C. J. Greenleaf, Joel II. Smith, Gideon Gibbs, William K. Palmer, G. C. Jones, Dr. H. S. MeMaster, George W. Jones; Newberg-J. M. Chapman, E. II. Jones ; Calvin-Jefferson Osborn, Levi J. Reynolds, Col. George T. Shaffer. We desire to make especial mention of the valuable writings of the late Judge Nathaniel Bacon, of Niles, which have been quoted in the chapter upon Pokagon. Written communications have been received in answer to letters or circulars from many persons, resident and non-resident of the county. To all who have thus aided in the compilation of the history we also tender thanks.
