Abstract
Living as he did the life of a leader among men, the
influence of Charles Fletcher Hyde can not be estimated.
That he was strong amidst the strength of the pioneer, that
he led in the organization of all worthy activities, and
that his allotted years of usefullness far outnumbered those
of most men, we know.
Of the steeled endurance and the depths of reserve energy
which the men on the frontier could never lack, those
of the present generation cannot fully comprehend for such
hardships are without the circle of present day experience.
Therefore , it has been the primary aim of this thesis
to preserve pioneer history and, in the second place, to
weave these bits of pioneer lore around the life that was ty
pical of the frontier. The frontier farmer has not heretofore
been given a just share of credit by writers of history.
His place seems to have been usurped by the military, political,
and business man.
The portrayal of the life of any pioneer cannot be entirely
a biography, but rather a history of early pioneer
days interwoven about the personalities of its makers. It
has been the desire of the author to so present the life of
Charles Fletcher Hyde that those who have so greatly benefited
from the efforts of their pioneer forefathers may
form a deeper appreciation for their heritage.
