About This Book

The author provides a first-person chronicle of a mid-19th-century frontier settlement that began as a military post and evolved into a growing town, describing its early establishment and abandonment, contests over the county seat, Indian raids and military responses, and the civic labors, land donations and financial sacrifices by local citizens that helped bring railroads and commerce; the narrative aims to set the record straight about who deserves credit for the community's founding and development.
