The Chapter is also making a duplicate gift of these interviews to the Historical department of the Hamilton Library, which it is hoped, will be a growing collection with new interviews to be added as found. In a few cases, there will be found to be two interviews from the same narrator under different divisions. In this way, subject matter has been more easily codified. The total number of persons interviewed has been 145, the total number of interviews 150. To this work, the interviewer has devoted months. Often a whole afternoon has been given to getting an important interview; for the minds of the old can not be hurried else mental confusion will result. In a few cases, important data necessarily had to be given by the second generation. Most of the collection is given to interviews concerning early Caldwell County history; a few concern the early history of our citizens who pioneered in other Missouri counties or other states. A group of three interviews came from pioneers in Miller County, Missouri, where the interviewer taught in the Ozarks. It has been a continuous aim to reproduce the spirit and the words of narrators and to get true facts as far as it lay in our power. Should errors have crept in despite our care in inquiry, we shall welcome any correction. We wish to acknowledge the assistance given to this project by the old timers themselves who thus have aided in preserving unwritten history, by fellow D.A.R. members who have suggested "prospects" or submitted data, and to the interested outside friends who have helped by suggestions, and by typewriting our manuscripts.
