The Sentinel‘s History 0|“th Town of:
Norwal ..
Under the title a " he History of the
Townof Rorwslk." a book is now in
preparation by this paper. The work,
when published. will contain an his-
torical mount of the town of Norwalk
since the beginning. with special refer-
dcscribsd and illustrated; its govern-
ment and public buildings; its institu-
tions. its varied interests and its promi-
nent citizens—everything which consti-
tutes an nuptial factor will be lound
between its covers. The werk is under
taken by a corps or writers well equip-
ped for the service. who guarantee that
the greatest care will be used to insure
completeness and accuracy.
In answer to inquiries on the subject.
The Sentinel wishes to state where it is
desired to illustrate biographical topics
more fully than had been provided for,
the cost of the extra illustration must be
paid for by those interested in' the sub-
jects treated. Beyond such charge and
that for copies of the book, there will be
absolutely no expense to anyone.
The book will be a handsome quarto
and will be produced with the best of ii-
lustrations, paper, press work and bind-
ing, and no expense will be spared to
make it a creditable exposition of all the
varied interests of this community, a
worthy memorial of The Sentinel. and a
valuable reference book for every library,
public and private.
We desire to further state that The
Sentinel'a "History of the Town of
Norwalk" has nocounectiun Willi any
other historical publication now being
compiled in l‘airfield county.

Grant lived in Minoan he undertook to
make a living on a little term Fatheh
lnxluw Dent gave him. Grant cut'down'
and bowed the legs which built his
cabin, there was a “raising ' after the
manner of primitive settlements. and
Captain Grant was one of the four cor-
acr men. while a powerful negro. one 01
Papa Dent‘s slaves. was another.
Poor Gruht himself toiled liken slave,
doing the hardest of backwoods farm
work. He cut down cord wood and haul—
ed it into St. Louis, delivering it at the
homes 01' the nebular and being treated
like any other "poor white" by the
proud old southern families. u At one
time Captain Grant had charge of the
slaves on the Dent plantation. He was
not a success as an overseer, being too
easy with the men. lie who could lead
the armies of 7 the world could not
“boss” ncgroes. Father Dent gave Mrs.
Grant two slaves for her own. Grant
parted with them to pay a debt he owed.
After a time he gave up the farm and
tried his luck as a business man in St.
Louis. Here in extreme povm'iy he lived
and did his best. But it was no go. He
vns not shrewd and talkative enough
for commercial life. He had resigned
from the army. He had failed at fann-
ing, and now he failed as a business
man. What could he do? The outlook
was very dark.
He seemed always depressed, always
to regard himself as a dead failure. Fi-
nally, whrn he was as poor and sorrow.
(hi and despairing as man could be, up»
patently, his father allowed him to
come to Galena. 1115.,‘and help with the
leather business. Then the war broke
out and men found what Captain Grant
was good for. '
