Almost half a centurv has elapsed since the bold pioneers entered Sanpete Valley to make homes amidst the savage Indians and barren deserts of sageb1ush. The veterans of '49 have nearly all disappeared from the val leys where they chased the redmen, erected homes and conquered the arid lands, converting Sanpete into a veri table agricultural paradise. Many of the sons and daugh ters have crossed the mountains in quest of new vales to conquer, and it is fitting that at this time a comprehen sive history should be compiled. The book here pre sented will be preserved as one of the most valuable family treasures, beneficial for its page-s of history, gene alogy, biography, commercial and educational records and the familiar features of representative citizens.
