Harrison County, Missouri
Less than a century ago, the territory
comprising this county was a wild, unbroken waste, inhabited by
the howling wolf, the fleet-footed deer, the roaming buffalo and
the untutored Indian. Then came the white man, and all was
changed, and the hum of peaceful industry is heard on every
side. Where once the council fire blazed and the wigwams of the
Redman stood, commercial, industrial and social institutions
have developed.
The rank and file of the people, each performing his duty at the
right time and place, make the history of any locality. This
work, therefore, contains personal sketches of many who have
been identified with the development of Harrison County.
