PREFATORY TE.NO The following sketches were written chiefly with reference to incidents and traits of character that marked the transition of the Western fromReserve a wilderness to the proud eminence of a civilized land. Similar incidents and traits have marked the advance civilization fromof the Atlantic to the Pacific. As elements of history, they all have an interest that increases with the lapse of time—a his- tory that will repeat itself. *'Woman andnever Her Sphere," and the Sketches that follow, are in- cluded in the volume for the reason that they pertain to achievements of western enterprise and have an import that is worthy of consideration.
