Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Nebraska Territorial Pioneers' Association: Reminiscences and Proceedings I came to the territory of Nebraska with my parents in April, 1864, from the state of Kansas, where my father, Samuel W. McKesson, had been sent by the conference of the Evangelical church for the state of Iowa. My father was an itinerant preacher, and our moving anywhere was not specially for the purpose of settlement, but for the purpose of being as near and convenient to such religious charges and missionary work as might be laid out for him. During the two years previous to moving into the territory the field of his labor was largely marked out for him by a missionary department of the conference, and in this case was not confined to comity or statewide boundaries. And so, prior to our moving into the territory, father had made frequent circuits within its boundary. We moved to Arago, in Richardson county, on the banks of the Missouri river. It is not now an organized town, having been abandoned and its place taken by the town of Fargo. Altho the town was situated on the banks of the river, it had no ferryboat connection with the Missouri side of the river. The manufacturing industries were a brickyard, a shingle sawmill and a brewery. The town was quite prosperous and progressive. The bluffs had been dug down half for the cutting thru of streets, and the ravines were filled and leveled. Besides the manufactures and residences, many of them mute respectable wooden structures, the town supported a public school, an Evangelical church, a Catholic church and school, and several saloons. Not much of interest to me occurred during the first year of our residence at Arago. I remember seeing boats travel up and down the Missouri river and stop to load and unload their cargoes of merchandise and to let off and take on passengers. The names of some of these river boats were the "Denver," "St. Mary's," "St. Joseph," and "St. Louis." They were of various sizes, some side-wheelers, some stern-wheelers, some with single smokestacks and some with double smokestacks, bid all with fog horns whose noise was anything but musical. It was in this year also that I saw and tasted my first cherries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
In 1916, this Book of Nebraska Pioneer Reminiscences was issued by the Daughters of the American Revolution of Nebraska, and "dedicated to the daring, courageous, and intrepid men and women--the advance guard of our progress--who, carrying the torch of civilization, had a vision of the possibilities which now have become realities.To those who answered the call of the unknown we owe the duty of preserving the record of their adventures upon the vast prairies of 'Nebraska the Mother of States. "Reminiscence, recollection, personal experience--simple, true stories--this is the foundation of History. Rapidly the pioneer story-tellers are passing beyond recall, and the real story of the beginning of our great commonwealth must be told now. The memories of those pioneers, of their deeds of self-sacrifice and devotion, of their ideals which are our inheritance, will inculcate patriotism in the children of the future; for they should realize the courage that subdued the wilderness. And "lest we forget," the heritage of this past is a sacred trust to the Daughters of the American Revolution of Nebraska."True Stories of Nebraska Pioneers: Illustrated and Annotated is a book of selections from COLLECTION OF NEBRASKA PIONEER REMINISCENCES, updated with photographs, biographies, and obituaries of many of the pioneers, and published by Knowledge Keepers. It is our desire to bring back to print as many works of our original history as possible into American homes for the preservation of the stories of our ancestors.
