About This Book

The author assembles short historical sketches of events, people, and local lore from across the state, arranged by month and day so each entry coincides with its anniversary. Material ranges from military incidents and frontier narratives to civic milestones and biographical notes, drawn from archival records, county histories, newspapers, and historical society manuscripts. Each entry is concise and intended for newspaper readers and quick reference, with a contents list, index, occasional footnotes, and a supplementary selection for Sunday dates; the collection emphasizes accessible storytelling and source-based documentation of regional history.

Transcriber’s Note:

The many sections of this volume are presented in order of the month and day, regardless of the year, beginning with January 1.

The Contents lists the topics alphabetically, and refers to a date (month and day) rather than a page number. These descriptions do not necessarily exactly match the title of the sections verbatim, and the same section occasionally appears twice, with different descriptions. There is a more detailed index at the end of the volume, with page references.

To facilitate navigation, the dates in the Contents are linked to the correct topics.

The few footnotes have been collected at the end of each section, and are linked for ease of reference.

Basic information from the titlepage has been added to the blank green cover and, so enhanced, is added to the public domain.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any issues encountered during its preparation.

Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.

Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
