The History Of Dodge County Wisconsin PDF Download

Excerpt from The History of Dodge County, Wisconsin: Containing a History of Dodge County, Its Early Settlement, Growth, Development, Resources, Etc., Etc., An Extensive and Minute Sketch of Its Cities, Their Improvements, Industries, Manufactories, Churches, Schools, Societies, Etc., Etc The history of Dodge County is one which contains many features identical with the history of Wisconsin, the preservation of which is essential to the truthful record of the State's life. The publishers of this volume have fully appreciated that fact and have so arranged the order of compilation as to give each prominent characteristic due place. There is no effort herein to reach literary excellence, but rather a decided attempt to capt ure vagrant items of interest, and weave them together upon the thread of system. Many men will say that their own acts are not sufficiently expatiated upon, or commensurate credit given certain friends of theirs; but the publishers have not aimed merely to please individuals. The work engaged in by them was of a higher nature. They have concentrated records for benefit of posterity, rather than for the selfish gratification of the vanity of certain parties. In this volume, we believe we have given the present generation an invaluable re ex of the times and deeds of pioneer days, and to those pioneer men and women a monument far more lasting than cold marble. In order to be accurate, we have sent proofs of every page herein published to competent citizens of Dodge County, which they have corrected and approved.
