Daily News' History of Buchanan County and St. Joseph, Mo

Annotation

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 is the second history of Buchanan County and St. Joseph, the first having been published in 1881. Since then much important local history has been made. In the compilation of this work the facts contained in the first history were used as groundwork and elaborated from data carefully collected, revised, and verified. The facts concerning subjects not treated in that volume, and the events of the period intervening between 1881 and 1899, were gathered from citizens, newspaper files, public records and other reliable sources. Accuracy has been our chief aim, and in order that this might be attained these chapters were first published in the Daily News and the public was invited to correct and to criticize. Much interest was manifested and many valuable suggestions were received. To all who have aided in the preparation of this work, the compiler extends his sincere thanks.
