Description
In 1844 when ten-year-old John Arey and his family came to Rapid City, then a cluster of five houses on the south bank of the Rock River, he had no idea that 23 years later he would lay out the town of Rock Falls on that very site. His memoir gives us a glimpse into the life of an ordinary, self-taught 19th century man who has much to tell us in the 21st century about his world. My Story includes additional samples of Arey's creative writing ability with reproduction of four articles and a brief reference to his personal diary, "Field Notes of Surveys, 1865-1868". This book is a must have for anyone wanting to know more about the early history of Sterling-Rock Falls, Illinois.
