There is no pretense that these pages are a complete history of the
early days of the city. There are many things, and some of them of
importance and interest that have not been mentioned. Many persons of
note who have contributed to the growth of the city are not enumerated
herein. This is because the memory is faulty and not with a wish to
withhold credit from any. Such as it is, it will serve to refresh the
memory of some and be of interest to others who are not familiar with
the struggles through which Fort Worth went and from which it emerged
with success.
