Pioneer
Sketches
This
little volume was begun while the compiler
was editor of the Nuckolls County Herald,
Nelson, Nebraska, in the spring of 1910,
and was reprinted from a series of papers
published in that newspaper.
In
May of that year, I moved to Hico, Texas,
where I was elected editor of the News-Review.
After entering my editorial duties in the
latter office I resumed the publication
of the sketches, but concerning Texas history
only.
These
sketches are not as complete as they might
have been, but are just as the articles
appeared in the two above papers. It was
not our intention to make a volume beautiful,
but merely to record and preserve these
items of history for future generations
to read.
If
these chapters have entertained you, and
incidentially instructed you, we feel repaid
for our efforts.
