Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Seward County, Nebraska: Together With a Chapter of Reminiscenses of the Early Settlement of Lancaster County The author would ask the reader to not be unreasonably critical. All historical works are imperfect and subject to criticism, and why should this be an exception? We have done the best we could with the material at hand. Many incidents herein related are obtained from people now living, and are generally correctly related, but the memories of men are sometimes faulty, and people are frequently led to see matters and things from different standpoints. The best authorities frequently conflict, and many matters of importance were never recorded, and we are left dependent on the memory of men for matters that occurred twenty or more years ago. We have searched diligently and patiently, and have given you the result of our efforts. We would not say that we are entirely satisfied, but hope that we have measurably succeeded in establishing many landmarks for the future historian, and conveyed an intelligent idea of the early settlement and the more important events of our history. We cheerfully acknowledge our obligations to the friends that have so kindly aided us in our work, for the many valuable historic letters and papers furnished us; to Hon. C. H. Gere, for his sketch of Lancaster county; and also to the editors of the various newspapers for the use of their files, and the county and state officers for courtesies shown; and last, but not least, the great host of friends that have met us with words of encouragement and liberal patronage.
