In our diligent search for four months seeking the information embod-ied in this history, a few men have been indifferent about it, but almostuniversally we were met with welcome, and those who could furnishinformation were glad to do so. And a few have taken such pains to ren-der us valuable assistance that we wish to make our special acknowledg-ments to them for it. Ethan Allen, Esq., furnished us the oldest files ofLafayette county newspapers now in existence. Captain Andrews, thedeputy county clerk, has our thanks for the uniform kindness and goodwill with which he aided us in our frequent occasions to examine the mustyand mouldy old records in the county vaults. We are indebted to Cap-tain A. A. Lesueur, editor of the Lexington Intelligencer, for personalfavors that were helpful; also to G. Clayton, John Burden, and E. Win-sor, for loan of scrap-books containing many valuable records, narratives,military orders, official reports, and other documents of the war time
