To The Hall County NEGenWeb Project
Much of the information found on the Hall County NEGenWeb site comes from "The History of Hall County," by Buechler, Barr, & Stough. The book was published in 1920 and is a comprehensive account of the first 73 years, (1857-1920), of Hall County.
It's a narrative of the Hall County, Nebraska pioneer period written and dedicated to those first thirty five settlers who came from Davenport, Iowa in 1857 in search of a home, and continues through those who served in defense of our country during World War I.
This 6' x 9' book contains 1,248 pages, 469 of history, 92 of World I Veterans, 396 pages of family biographies, photos, plus a general and biographical index. A new 51 page surname index has been added by members of the Prairie Pioneer Genealogical Society.
