Synopsis
Excerpt from The Autobiography of Theodore Edgar Potter
Theodore Edgar Potter, whose life story fills the succeeding pages Of this book, died at his home in Lansing, Michigan, October 25, 1910. The manuscript of this autobiography was found in his library after his death. It is now published in conformity with his last wishes so that his children and grandchildren may appreciate the struggles, privations and dangers that marked the lot of those pioneers, who, like himself, gave their best years to the develop ment of the great western country. The story is told in his own words — the few changes made have been in the arrangement of matter and in embodying in it incidents which he mentioned in letters and other articles but which he did not chronicle here. The story is so complete that any addition may seem super ?uous. But to the members of Mr. Potter' s family, for whom this book 1s printed, it lacks the incidents of warm personal friendship that in their minds rendered his life so distinctive, and which he in his modesty failed to chronicle. The writer will be pardoned therefore if he calls attention in this preface to a few phases of Mr. Potter's life which are of extreme interest and tender memory to his family.
