Description
Excerpt from A History of Republic County, Kansas: Embracing a Full and Complete Account of All the Leading Events in Its History, From Its First Settlement Down to June 1st, 1883
A single county, in the great State of Kansas, occupies but an insignificant place on the map of the world; and its people and its story are comparatively unknown. Yet the grand river of national history is formed by the union of many rills of traditions and record, ?owing from a thousand counties and States all over the land. The tracing of one of these rills to its source is the province of the present little volume. It is the aim of this work to collect and preserve some of the facts of the early settlement, subsequent growth and develop ment of one of the leading counties of a young, yet great and glorious State. The families who were early on the ground, and whose mem bers have contributed to make the county what it is, are worthy of remembrance and their difficulties and sorrows, labors and patriotism, should not be allowed to fall into oblivion. By a knowledge of these, the present generation will be instructed, and the future will be guided. All history, if properly written, is profitable; and there is not a country, or a city, or a hamlet, on the globe, whose history might not be more or less valuable to posterity. We trust this little volume will be the means of preserving from the empire of decay, a host of incidents, of recollections and of anecdotes, relating to the land of pio neers and first settlers of the county, which, in the estimation of the historian and student of history, are of priceless value, but which otherwise would soon fade from the memories of the living.
