Since I've reached an age where there is more to look back on than there is to anticipate, I found these words by Andrew Arntson in a letter dated Feb. 19, 1954 speaking to me.
"In Ransom County we have settlements more than 80 years old. After another 80 years will there be much known of the early struggles of our forefathers?"
This is what keeps historians digging around dusty shelves and dark corners.
