Unsourced Yankee boosterism
I've removed some ten-year-old claims that virtually all the settlers in 1875 were Yankees from New England. The sources cited don't support the claim, and the 1880 census actually refutes it. According to H.O. Ruesch in his Taylor County Historical Sketch, here are the first four settlers: So of the two first settlers I can find, zero were Yankees. That's far from "virtually all." If someone has a source that supports "virtually all," please provide it and consider restoring what I deleted. -- Jeff the quiet (talk) 04:59, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
