INTRODUCTION.



    The first quarter of a century has passed since the real work of pioneer

life began in Faulk county—the work of transforming the wild, unbroken prairie,

the home of the buffalo, the wolf and the wild and uncivilized red man—of

blotting out the well worn Indian trail, extending from the eastern to the

western boundary of the country.



    A work that means so much for us, that has been carried forward with such

telling results, as the years go by, shall ever remain an enduring foundation

upon which our future social, political, intellectual and moral greatness must

stand, demanding a more enduring record than legend or story—Facts well

authenticated, facts from the well stored memory, from brief records placed in

historical form, before the ruthless hand of Time removes the heroic band from

our midst.



    For the accomplishment of such a work is this History of Faulk County written.



    And to the men and women who composed that heroic band, who left home, with

all its social surroundings that enter so largely into the present life, and

builded greater than they knew in laying the foundation for a more liberal,

broader and higher education and a nobler manhood and womanhood, is this work

dedicated.
