                                FORETHOUGHT



                    This Book of Nebraska Pioneer
               Reminiscences is 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."

                         "In her horizons,
                         limitless and vast
                         Her plains that storm the
                         senses like the sea."

                    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.

                    The invaluable assistance of the
               Nebraska State Historical Society, and the
               members of this Book Committee, Mrs. C. S.
               Paine and Mrs. D. S. Dalby, is most
               gratefully acknowledged.
