Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pioneer History of Becker County, Minnesota: Including a Brief Account of Its Natural History; As Embraced in the Mineral, Vegetable and Animal Kingdoms, and a History of the Early Settlement of the County; Also, Including a Large Amount of Valuable Historical Information Collected As many of the people of our county well remember, Mrs. Jessie C. West, of Detroit, had for several years before her death been gathering material for a history of Becker County, and had collected quite a large amount of valuable historical information. Her papers have since been placed in my hands, and from them I have selected a large number of articles and items which I at first intended to give a separate place in my book by inserting them all together by themselves; but after a further examination of the various articles, I decided that they would be better appreciated, and would add more to the interest of the work, and would be more interesting in and of themselves if they were distributed throughout the work, where they would naturally fit in and connect with the various subjects of a kindred nature with themselves. In order to give her due credit for all the articles used be longing to her collection, I have placed her name under the lower right - hand corner of all articles written by herself, and where they were compiled by her or furnished her by some one else, I have placed the name of the author under the lower right-hand corner of the article, and have placed Mrs. West's name under the left lower corner of the same article.
