Every County has its written history, but few are as accurately written as this one. Hugh J. Dobbs writes the history of Gage County, Nebraska, as authentic as possible. In this book, you'll find that Dobbs traces the history of Gage County all the way back to the pioneer period. The Chapters follow a chronological order that slowly unfolds the history of Gage County. It starts with the discoverers (French explorers and the missionaries), talks about the typography of Gage County, lists its wildlife, and plants and goes further to talk about its culture, education, religion, social life, commercial life and civic development. Still, amid all these, it provides biographies of average people; their contributions and achievements. As a source of genealogy, this book provides a wealth of information and as a source of history, it captures the earliest people of Gage County in their truest form. You can read this for leisure, or to get historical facts about Gage County, you won't get anywhere else.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
