A BRIEF FOREWORD. In presenting this work to the public, a page is devoted to those who generously contributed toward making it as complete as it is and by their invaluable assistance adding not a little to the various subjects treated. The moment is taken to especially thank that indefatigable, painstaking fact-ferret, Edward L. Graham, for his gratuitous services. Much credit is due him. Also Phil J. Mackey, W. S. Fultz, A. S. Lawrence, the able and courteous county auditor; Alice Walton Beatty, W. F. Chevalier and Henry Heinz, the latter gentleman editor Der Herold. His hand penned the article on the German settlers and is a valuable and interesting contribution. J. P. Walton, Suel Foster, Judge J. Scott Richman and Prof. F. M. Witter are gone to their reward, but they are not forgotten; many of their writings pertaining to the early history of Muscatine county, are embodied for preservation in this volume. Last but by no means least thanks are due that most excellent news-gather, the Journal. Its columns--many of them--have been transferred to the pages herein, owing to the accuracy and historic worth of the material. The News-Tribune also has been drawn upon generously.
