The title was taken from an advertisement which appeared
in the Idaho Falls Times, January 28, 1892.
It reads:
In addition to the aforementioned men and women who wrote and contributed histories on the topics we requested we thank our chief consultants Edith Lovell and D.V. Groberg. Edith is the author of Captain Bonneville's County and other articles. We have gleaned from the many articles Joe Marker has written for the Post Register, Beautiful Bonneville, and his book, Eagle Rock U.S.A.
We are indebted to the Post Register's special editions throughout the years which have been invaluable. We are grateful to the city of Idaho Falls and Mayor Tom Campbell for helping to fund this project during the city's centennial year, and to the Bonneville County Historical Society officers, Bob Bates and Bernice McCowin for their support.
We acknowledge the following people for interviews which have been incorporated into our history: Bish Jenkins, Leon Skelton, Harry Hops, Stanley Crowley, Jack Gamble, Dewain Silvester, JoLynn Wyatt, John Christoffersen, Wylie Snarr, Richard Carr, Richard Gillespie, Linda Cook, Marjorie Homer, Velma Chandler (City Clerk) and Ron Longmore (County Clerk) and the authors of published materials referred to in our list of sources.
For bibliographical help we express appreciation to Idaho Falls Public Library Dorothea Jones of the Idaho Falls LDS Family History Library; Blaine Bake, Leland Hunsaker, Gale Reeser, Ricks College Librarians; Leonard Arrington, regional historian; Rocky Barker, Post Register; Shirley McBride, BCHS oral history chairman.
