Giles, F: Thirty Years in Topeka -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Thirty Years in Topeka: A Historical Sketch

In matters Which more especially pertain to Shawnee county, I feel rather to censure myself for not giving many facts and incidents omitted, but Which in the future Will be of considerable local interest.

Considerable space is given to purely State history, a thing quite foreign to the original design of the book, and Which, in view of the comprehensive work by the State Historical Society, that the community is anxiously awaiting, would not have been touched upon at all, had it not been so inti mately connected With a history of Topeka that it became necessary to do so.

Some events narrated Will seem trivial now, but in the future their interest Will be in the ratio that time past bears to the date of their occurrence. Contemporary observers Will notice errors, of course, but hoping that none of import ance have been committed, I can only remind the reader that it is human to err, and that it is divine to forgive.
