History of Dunklin County, Mo;, 1845-1895 e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This little volume has been prepared to preserve the past history of Dunklin County, Mo., perpetuate the names of its pioneers, keep the time and manner of settlement, record the names of its officials, and preserve much other matter that would otherwise, in a few years, be entirely lost. Also realizing the many untrue and detrimental things which have been spoken of her native county, the author desires to bring it before its sister counties and the world as it now exists, and to this end has personally visited every locality of the county, and more than fifty of the oldest and best informed citizens, 111 search of information, and in every instance using that which proved to be the most reliable.
