Excerpt from A History of Manitowoc CountyThls, then, 15 the alm of th1s history No clalms are made for lts llterary merlts. On the other hand the author has more largely devoted hls efforts towards securmg correctness m pomt of fact than elegance of style Differ edt phases ln the county's hlstory are treated toplcally also, Instead of an at tempt bemg made to wrlte one connected story of the entlre ex1stence of the county, as It was thought true prospectlve would thus be better afforded. It may be objected that too many dates have been Inserted. From the l1terary standpomt thls 1s doubtless true, but 1t must be remembered that above all the 1dea1n wrlttmg th1s work was the recordlng ln some permanent form df many facts Wth m future years may be useful as well asmterest1ng, 1n re gard to the begmmng and progress of the county.
