Introduction: Dear Reader, These Reminiscences were written and intended to be published during my father's lifetime, but his death came before it could be accomplished. The facts are just as he stated them. This little booklet is now sent out in memory of him who showed the same brave spirit during his long suffering illness at the close of his life, as he did in those early pioneering days, of which he loved to talk.
