Foreword W hen Alleghaii} ' was just a wilderness inhabited b ' liostile Indians wlio fought and Ininted and roamed the forest in search of adventure, brave men and women came and in the struggle for existence began the history of our home county. The years have ]iassed steadily on and on, and many pioneers have also jiassed on,” but imaginative youth looks back and dreams of those days when our ancestors began the civilization of Alleghan ' . As other pioneers have fol- lowed high ideals and produced a happy, sjilendid county so have we, the pioneers of 1929, endeavored to blaze new trails and leave new records of accomjilishments in the vicinit} ' of our Alleghany. That the deeds, the joys, and the trials of our class in our beloved homeland may not be forgotten, that the brave feats per- formed and trying ordeals endured liy the fir.st pioneers of Alleghany may not lose their place in our memories, and that the love of (.mr home county may be re- newed, we, the I’ioneers of 1929, jniblish this volume of 1’uffs and Patches. d ' urn the pages and live again the glories and defeats of the pioneers, both )’ 0 ung and old.
