| | History of Palo Alto County, Iowa |
 | | Since undertaking this labor we have been convinced of the wisdom of writing these things at this time; for many useful and interesting facts of which no record has, or con'd be obtained, have been carefully gathered and compiled from living witnesses, who were themselves fully conversant with the events here recorded. |
| | This county lies on either side of the 43d parallel of north latitude, and has 17 1/2 degrees of west longitude from Washington, or about 94 1/2 degrees from Greenwich. |
| | It is bounded on the north by Emmet county, on the east by Kossuth, on the south by Pocahontas and on the west by Clay, and in common with these and many other counties, was, about a quarter of a century ago, attached to Webster county as dependant territory. |
