Past And Present Of Lasalle County Illinois PDF Download

Excerpt from The Past and Present of La Salle County, Illinois: Containing a History of the County Its Cities, Towns, &C In procuring the information that goes to make up this volume, it was necessary to em ploy a number of agents. In selecting these agents, we invariably sought to find men of character and intelligence; to each of whom we gave careful instructions to be particularly cautious in taking down names and dates - to write them legibly, so that printers could not err, and to exercise care in gathering information - yet, among so many agents, gathering such a diversity of matter, writing such a multitude of names and noting down so many dates, it will be very strange if many errors are not discovered. In book-making this has been always so, and will continue to be so as long as time lasts or books, and more espec ially works of this nature, are made. To avoid as many errors and inaccuracies in names, dates and information as possible, has been a matter of jealous care on the part of the publishers, and they flatter themselves such care has not been without reward.
