Présentation de l'éditeur :
Bflins;- ham County is complete, and it is our hope and belief that no subject of general importance or interest has been overloolied or omitted, and even minor facts, when of sufficient note to be worthy of record, have been faithfully chronicled. In short, where protracted investigation promised results commensurate with the undertaking, matters not only of undoubted record but legendary lore, have been brought into requisition. We are well aware of the fact that it is next to impossible to furnish a perfect history from the meager resources at the command of the historian under ordinary circumstances, but claim to have prepared a work fully up to the standard of our engagements. Through the courtesy and assistance generously afforded, we iiave been enabled to trace out and put into systematic shape the greater portions of the events that ii;ive transpired in the county up to tlie present time, and we feel assured that all thouglitful persons interested in the matter will recognize and appreciate the importance of the work and its permanent value. A dry statement of facts has been avoided, so far as it was possible to do so, and anecdote and incident have been interwoven with plain recital and statistics, thereby forming a narrative at once instructive and entertaining. We are indebted to H. C. Bradsby, Esq., for his very able general history of the county comprised in the first nine chapters ;to B. F. Kagay, Esq., for the chapter on the Bench and Bar fto Charles Evcrsman, Esq., for chapter on Tcutopolis, and to G. M. Le Crone, Esq.. and many other citizens of the county for material aid in making the proper compilation of facts embodied in the work. February, 1883. THE PUBLISHERS.
