It is the province of the historian to snatch from oblivion that information pertaining to nations and peoples which may be of any possible interest or benefit to those of the present or to the millions yet unborn. And to faithfully re cord it in enduring form. In order to honestly accomplish this end the writer must curb his fancies and put a check upon his imaginative pro pensities; he must not seek to weave a fabric of surpassing beauty regardless of facts, which must form the basic foundation of all true his tory. But, rather, he must dig and delve into records. Official and private; into the traditions handed down from generation to 'generation from decades long past; into the memory of the old pioneer who still survives: and by pro longed and diligent search seek to know the truth, that the truth aloiie in after years may bear record of his work.
