SEEING, HEARING, AND READING pgs 137-138

Just as �Flying Arrow� used his eyes one may find out many things for himself, every day. Just as the friend of �Flying Arrow� learned of the skill of the Indian in discovering the kind of man who had stolen his food, one may carefully listen to the true stories of his own State. Besides, one may read very many things which will tell about the early history of Iowa and of the men and women who helped to form the government and to make this State one of the great United States. Only a small part, only the very beginning, of these events can be put into one small book. How the land was made into a Territory; how it became a State; and how counties and township were set off and named will be learned in other books.
