Book Description
Excerpt from History of Saline County, Missouri, Carefully Written and Compiled From the Most Authentic Official and Private Sources: Including a History of Its Townships, Cities, Towns and Villages, Together With a Condensed History of Missouri, the State Constitution, a Military Record of Its Volunteers in Either Army of the Great Civil War The deeds of the men who first came to the river bottoms of Saline county, and in time turned under the blossoms of its prairies with their wooden plows, cannot be too well remembered, cannot be too often told. The achievements of those who came next after the first pioneers, the statesmen, the warriors, the planters who have given to the country not only its notoriety, its fame and its glory, but its material prosperity as well these ought never to he forgotten. Their works do follow them. The schools they established, the churches they built, the institutions they founded, the battles they fought, should be remembered. These things this history purports to record - imperfectly, but after a fashion that is better than none.
