Preface
History of Randolph County West Virginia
No literary merit is claimed in the presentation of this book. The purpose of the writer was to present facts and if any event of historical value will be saved to future generations, the author will feel compensated for his labors.

Encouragement and assistance have been received from many sources not practicable to enumerate, but none the less cherished and appreciated.

Valuable assistance which the writer acknowledges with pleasure was given by Hon. T. J. Arnold, Capt. W. H. Cobb, Col. S. N. Bosworth, Jesse W. Robinson and Geo. W. Crawford.
In the preparation of this volume valuable information was obtained from Maxwell’s History of Randolph, Haymond’s History of Harrison, Price’s History of Pocahontas, Morton’s History of Pendleton and from Harper’s Magazine.
