This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

FOREWORD
The aim of this work is to present in an available form the facts which the average citizen desires to know about those events of the past that have been important in making the county what it is today. To the recital of these events have been added the biographies of former and present citizens, giving a closer insight into the lives and work of the prominent actors in the events here depicted.
No two editors would select the same material for a county history, opinions as to what such a work should consist of are varied. But we believe that we have selected such material as will prove of the greatest value and the greatest interest to the greatest number of people.
In compiling this material, the publishers have drawn freely upon the History of Houston County, published by the Minneapolis Historical Co. in 1882. Gathered nearly forty years ago, there is much information therein that is not to be obtained elsewhere at the present day. Two notable pub- lications which should be read supplementary to this present work are the History of Portland Prairie by H. V. Arnold (printed and published by the author in Larimore, B. D., in 1911) ; and The Yucatan Valley in the Early Days, by Samuel B. McIntire (published in the Houston Sentinel in 1901, and reprinted in book form the same year).
Other sources of information have been the local records of county, villages, towns, churches, and organizations, the publications of the state and of the Minnesota Historical Society, and the files of the Houston County and La Crosse newspapers.
It has been deemed wise not to make any attempt at this time to pub- lish the War History of the county, notable though that record has been. The Civil War record of the country has already been well covered in other works. The history of the part the county played in the World War is being prepared by a commission appointed by the Governor, and will be published by the state when complete, making it inadvisable to attempt at this time to print what is as yet gathered in but fragmentary form.
Those whose names appeared on the prospectus, and whose encourage- ment has been an inspiration from the start are: L. L. Duxbury, Robert D. Sprague, Moses Emery, J. C. Kelly, W. D. Belden, J. P. Lommen, Frances Lapham, Dr. D. C. Rhines, Rev. Father M. Borresch, E. K. Roverud and Rev. Alfred O. Johnson. The various county officers have also rendered much assistance.
To these people, and to all others, who by their interest, support and encouragement, have made the work possible, not only the publishers and

the editor, but also the citizens of the county, now and in future years, owe . a debt of gratitude.
That the history is faultless, we do not presume. It is probably not within the power of man to arrange a work of this kind without many mistakes of one sort or another. That it will meet with unqualified approval we dare not hope. But we believe that the merits and value of such a work overbalance the inevitable shortcomings, and we are assured that the work will increase in value with the passing of the years.
Our association with the people of Houston County has been a pleasant one. We have conscientiously performed our task, and in placing the his- tory in the hands of those whom it most concerns, our hope is that we have done our work well.
