Excerpt from The Good Old Times in McLean County, Illinois, Containing Two Hundred and Sixty-One Sketches of Old Settlers: A Complete Historical Sketch of the Black Hawk War, and Descriptions of All Matters of Interest Relating to McLean County The author of this volume does not wish to impose on the public a narrative of his trials in collecting information and in writing the sketches contained herein, although the difficulties have been very great. Notwithstanding all of his troubles, it has, on the whole, been a pleasant task. It has brought him in contact with the pleasantest and most freehearted men with whom it has been his lot to be acquainted. They are men whose ideas were formed in the days when neighbors were few and friendships were more highly prized than silver and gold. It is possible that some mistakes have been made in this work on account of the great variety of facts to be collected, but the author has taken extraordinary pains to verify the matters herein narrated, and he believes the mistakes are few. He is under many obligations to old settlers for favors reni dered, and had it not been for the exertions of Judge J. E. Mc Clun and John Magoun, it is doubtful whether the author would have had sufficient courage to have brought the work to comple tion. He is also under many obligations to Mr. Jesse \v. Fell, President Richard Edwards, W. H. Hodge, J. W. Billings and others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
