Excerpt from History of the Minnesota Valley, Including the Explorers and Pioneers of Minnesota, And, History of the Sioux Massacre We live not alone in the present, but also in. The past and future. We can never look out thoughtfully at our own immediate surroundings but a course of reasoning will start up, leading us to inquire into the causes that produced the development around us, and at the same time we are led to conjecture the results to follow causes now in operation. We are thus linked indissolubly with the past and the future. If, then, the past is not simply a stepping-stone to the future, but a part of our very selves, we can not afford to ignore, or separate it from ourselves as a member might be lopped off from our bodies; for though the body thus maimed, might perform many and per haps most of its functions, still it could never again be called complete.
