Introduction
to materials
The following material was copied from unpublished
manuscripts on file in the Independence Public Library.
The information was prepared by various persons in 1947 relating to the
early pioneers, their places of origin and the trials and hardships
they endured in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin.
The writers were of the third generation in most instances. They
had to rely heavily on the stories of the early settlers who may have
forgotten many incidents. Regardless of the shortcomings, the
information pretty well depicts the events of the early days.
This is confirmed by well documented books in state and local
history. During my early years, I had heard many pioneers relate
their experiences.
Clarence J. Gamroth, 1968
