“WHEN one considers the counties of Rock and Pipestone in their present state of development, it is hard to realize that they have been brought to this state in so short a time. The white man's history of these counties has taken place in the lifetime of a man now forty-five years of age; when he was born there was not a resident in either county and there never had been. Yet, while their history extends back to no great antiquity, interesting events have occurred — events which should he recorded and preserved.
“It is for this purpose that this volume is put forth. It is the only history of Rock and Pipestone counties ever published, and the material for its compilation has been secured from original sources. Friendly coadjutors have assisted in its preparation. The author has consulted and quoted from the writings of Hon. Warren Uphani, secretary of the Minnesota Historical society, from George Catlin's "North American Indians,'"' from "Minnesota in Three Centuries," recently published, from the publications of the Minnesota Geological Survey, and from many other authorities. The files of the local newspapers have been of inestimable value in supplying authentic data, especially the files of those pioneer journals, the Rock County Herald and the Pipestone County Star.
“Without them much of historical importance must have remained unrecorded. Scores of pioneer residents of the two counties have interested themselves in the work to the extent of devoting time to the detailing of early day events. Special mention is due the assistance given, by Mr. C. H. Bennett, of Pipestone.”
