Dear Dr. Clausen:
. In
the case of Robert Ireton, I used the real name, that a hired man of so
long ago would never be identified. But after the book came out, I had a letter
from his daughter, Mrs. Rachel Ryder of 1104 First Ave., Eau Claire, Wis. She was in her eighties and has undoubtedly
passed on by now. I list all these real
names, because if you are interested in looking up old property records,
