without compensation for the sake of knowing, is a fond memory. It is 
on such occasions that enduring friendships are formed, the ties of bro- 
therly love firmly bound, and the great and unknown field in a new coun- 
try opened to view. The cheerful and happy dispositions manifested 
on trying occasions, when rain, or snow, or hunger, or fatigue was most 
severe, are characteristic of that great body of men who care neither for 
labor nor fatigue if there is added something to the sum total of human 
knowledge. 
It is a pleasure to note that much of the work represented by this 
publication has been accomplished through funds contributed by friends. 
To the many who have aided in the work by contributions sincere thanks 
are tendered. Weare under special obligation to Senator Wm. A. Clark, 
who has rendered great service by generous contributions on many occa- 
sions.
