Excerpt from A Journal Kept by Miss. Sarah Foote (Mrs. Sarah Foote Smith): While Journeying With Her People From Wellington, Ohio, to Footeville, Town of Nepeuskun, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, April 15 to May 10, 1846 To the reader of highly seasoned modern fiction the following plain narrative may seem to have no excuse for publication. But appreciation will not be wanting from those few still living, who were members of that family of movers nor from their numerous prosper ous families of children and grandchildren. To the educated and thoughtful person, though unacquainted with the author, there is always a charm about a bit of real history. Sarah Foote is one of the six children of Mr. And Mrs. Percival Foote of strict New England Puritan stock. Mr. Foote was a cousin of United States Senator Solomon Foote, of New Hampshire. This Foote family had been pioneers in Ohio and were going farther west to the territory of Wisconsin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
