By means of the covered wagon, families came from hundreds of miles to set up homes in the district of black soil, swamps and malaria. There were no paved roads, no tourist camps, no hotels or kind friends to Welcome them on their arrival. The task before these people does not often occur in its vastness to those who are accustomed to all the luxuries of life. They had to establish homes, churches, schools, and industries. These institutions which are now on every hand to administer to society took years in the making by those faithful, earnest, honest, hard-working fathers and mothers of yester- century. In the working out of our book, we would attempt to portray some of the beginnings that our modern conveniences are based upon. If we of this generation would do our best for society we must be able to appreciate the little acorns from which the mighty oak has grown. If we call to mind the modes of travel, the public utilities and conveniences of that day as the germ which grew to the magnitude of our present day railroad, modern buses, electric lights and power, water systems for convenience in homes and to the public, the great efficient educational institutions and churches, we can begin to realize what a great heritage we have received from our forefathers. In our work as we catch a gleam of the perseverance and persistence of those who have made it possible for us to live a full life we hope to be better able to meet the battle that lies before us.
