"Yesterday, long before some remember, there was a city and county that was very different from today. Rugged men and women settled here while get-rich-quick promotions prevailed. Investment in our community ensued, and much of the remaining architecture today represents this investment. These images serve as a reminder of the people, places, commerce, and events of our past. Today we look back with curiosity and interest at our history and memories of our own yesterdays. The Douglas County Historical Society hopes you will enjoy this journey through the past and remember to share in the preservation of history." --Forward, Yesterdays, Images of Superior & Douglas County, Arrowhead Printing, Inc. January 1998, p. 2.
