Synopsis
Excerpt from North Platte and Its Associations
Material for a work of this kind is not abundant. As few stirring incidents are interwoven with the city's history; so, on this account, the fellowing pages contain nothing more than a retrospection that will recall events and incidents to the minds of eld erly citizens, and serve as a flash - light on the past, which it is hoped a new generation will appreciate.
Of late, death has claimed many old settlers. And only a surviving few are left with whom to consult.
With two exceptions. They seemed pleased to be called on, and proved reminiscent, and talked with zeal of occurrences that took place when Indians and buf falo were numerous and frontier life perilous. Such recollections, combined with gleanings from the County, City, School and church records have aided greatly in tracing the progress of local events and adding interest to the narrative.
