TO THE PIONEERS
WHO BLAZED THE WAY, BRAVED THE ELEMENTS, FORDED STREAMS
AND REARED CABINS ON THE STORM SWEPT PRAIRIES; THE SPACIOUS
LANDSCAPE THEIR ONLY SCENE BY DAY; THE TINKLING COW BELL
IN THE DISTANT CORRAL AND HOWLING WOLVES THE ONLY SOUNDS
BY NIGHT; BUT WHO, WITH BRAVE HEARTS AND WILLING HANDS, DEFIED
THE WILDERNESS AND IN AFTER YEARS TRANSFORMED IT INTO FRUITFUL
FIELDS AND CAUSED IT TO BLOSSOM LIKE THE ROSE, THIS BOOK
IS GRATEFULLY DEDICATED.
