and the evidences of tlie hardihood, morality, virtue and
intelligence of its pioneer representative men and women
merit a place in the archives of a Society organized for
this very purpose.
Several interesting papers designed for this volume have
been crowded out--prominent anlong them are FONDAS'
Recollections of Wisconsin, Judge MARVIN'S Sketches of La
Payette County, JANDS' Reminiscences of the Early Settle-
ment of Janesville, and several others. The postpone-
ment of their publication until the issue of our next
volume will not detract from their interest or value.
We appeal to the few surviving old pioneers of Wis-
consin to prepare and send to the Society minute narra-
tives of their reminiscences of the men and events of
the olden time. If this good work is not done quickly,
there is great danger of its never being accomplished.
