Publisher's Synopsis

We have no apology to Offer in presenting a Directory thirty six years after its original date. The new settler will see no use for it, but the Old Settler can read and refer to it with pleasure. It is hoped that the parties named in this work will never feel ashamed of the-days when they earned an honest living by the sweat of their brow.
