Book Description

Excerpt from The History of Ogle County, Illinois, Containing a History of the County-Its Cities, Towns, Etc: A Biographical Directory of Its Citizens, War Record of Its Volunteers in the Late Rebellion, General and Local Statistics; Portraits of Early Settlers and Prominent Men For these reasons it is not to be expected this volume will be entirely accurate as to names, dates, etc., or that it will be so perfect as to be above and beyond criticism, for the book is yet to be written and printed that can justly claim the meed of perfection; but it is the publishers' hope, as it is their belief, that it will be found measurably correct and gener ally accurate and reliable. Industrious and studied care has been exercised to make it a standard book of reference as well as one of interest, to the general reader. If in such a multiplicity of names, dates, etc., some errors are not detected, it will be strange, indeed. Such' as it is, our offering is completed, and it only remains for us to acknowledge our obligations to the gentlemen named below for the valuable information furnished by them, without which this history of Ogle County would not be so voluminous and com prehensive.
