Synopsis

Excerpt from History of Shelby County, Indiana: From the Earliest Time to the Present, With Biographical Sketches, Notes, Etc;; Together With a Short History of the Northwest, the Indiana Territory, and the State of Indiana

After several months of almost uninterrupted labor, the History of Shelby County is completed. In issuing it to our patrons we do not claim for it perfection; but that it contains that reasonable de gree of accuracy which only could be expected of us, is confidently asserted. The difficulties that surround such an undertaking can scarcely be realized by one who has never engaged in work of the kind. To reconcile the doubtful and often con?icting statements that are so frequently made by those who would seem to be best informed, is a task both perplexing and tedious. Yet we believe that we have been able to present a history of the county that is as nearly complete as reason can demand, and the book exceeds our promises in almost every particular. We have endeavored to set forth the facts in as concise and unostentatious language as possible, believing it is for the facts and not for rhetorical display that the book is desired. The mechanical execution and general appear ance of the volume will recommend it, even to the fastidious. The arrangement of the matter is such as to render an index almost super?uous, as the subject under consideration is at the top of every right-hand page. For further details the italic subdivisions will enable the reader to refer with readiness to any topic. In the Spell ing of proper names there is such a wide difference, even among members of the same family, and is a matter of so arbitrary a nature, that our only guide was each man''s desire. Every clew that gave promise of important facts connected with the county''s history has been investigated by those engaged in the work. We believe the volume will be favorably received and highly appreciated by those for whom it was prepared. Our thanks are due to those
