Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Ramsey County and the City of St. Paul: Including the Explorers and Pioneers of Minnesota, And, Outlines of the History of Minnesota
To give in detail all the various sources from which the facts here given have been obtained, would be tedious if not impracticable. It may be sufficient to say that it fairly presents the history of our remarkable development, and a faithful picture of our present condition. -7e must, however, express our obligations to a host of living witnesses, from whom a large portion of the facts have been obtained, and doubtful points verified they have our hearty thanks. Material has been drawn largely from the columns of newspapers, which have given from time to time, a record of passing events. The contri bution of Rev. Edward D. Neill will be of great permanent value in imperish able print, and will be greatly prized by historiographers everywhere. We have also drawn upon the accumulation of facts in the possession of the Minnesota Historical Society, for a paper by its secretary, Mr. J. Fletcher The value of a reservoir of historical data at the capital of the State, for such purposes, was fully appreciated and the maintenance of such a centre of information can not be too strongly advocated. In conclusion, we have an obligation to express to our patrons, and are pleased to acknowledge a liberal patronage and more than ordinary courtesy toward our employes for all of which we tender our hearty thanks. Hoping that those who have subscribed for and are about to receive this volume, will favor it with a kind reception, and take as much interest in reading as we have in compiling the history of Ramsey county, we are, Very respectfully, yours.
