I have written this book to perpetuate memory, foster, and promote the principles along with the virtues of my Dutch ancestry. My ancestors maintained a library relating to their Dutch settlement in America. This book is principally organized with the accounts of my descendants of the Dutch Colonies in America, prior to or during the year 1732 and beyond. Living on the Mississippi during the Civil War, The crime wave of 1949, Eleanor Roosevelt 1961 and The tornado of 1965 and many others. My hopes are to preserve this information respecting the early history and settlements of the MAPES Family from Germany and Bohemia and the Dutch-American POOL Family from Holland and the Netherlands,

1 OTT 2020 · As it is written that in the Autumn of 1871, Holland-Americans nominated 3 candidates, for county office and later elected them: American born, Henry Hospers, to the board of supervisors, and A.J. Betten as auditor. (The other name no one remembers) The victorious Holland-Americans were excited of the win and traveled twenty-three miles across the vast countryside, through blizzards and bone chilling weather to perform their duties at Calliope. In January, of 1872, three offices-elect journeyed from Orange City to the County seat, where the board of supervisors conveyed. Hospers at that time, took the oath of office-elected for him, but when the other Holland-Americans stepped forward and presented their official bonds, the board members of Callope refused them and did not accept their bonds, and the were not given the oath of office. Furious about this unreasonable policy, about 150 men, three-fifths where were Holland-Americans, hitched up their teams, still in January, and in bob-sleds, went to Court house in Calliope. It has been reported that when the men arrived, the chairman of the board of supervisors hastily adjourned: and, as he was preparing to flee to the Dakotas, the people confronted him and asked for them to be placed in the office.
