<p>"This book is intended as a tribute and is gratefully dedicated to the authors of the following articles and stories.  These are the men and women who took the time to write down their experiences and the experiences of their families and neighbors.  It is through them that we know our past.A past unrecorded is soon erased by time.  Thanks to these writers, significant fragments of our history have been recorded and are preserved.  Through their writings we can, in our comfortable and ordered lives, vicariously ride the unfenced open range, stake a homestead claim, hear children's voices in a tiny one-room schoolhouse or empathize in the loneliness of an isolated rancher's wife.  The writers permit us to feel the pulse of a time when this land was just being settled and thus to know better the place we live today." - The Editors</p>
