Besides the narrative sketches and anecdotes devoted to the settlement of Missouri, over half of this volume consists of genealogical histories of more than 800 families from the five early Missouri counties of St. Charles, Montgomery, Warren, Audrain, and Callaway. The genealogies typically commence with the parents or grandparents of the original Missouri settler and continue in lineal progression through several generations.
