Wick is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the events surrounding Linn County from its earliest settlement through its development up to the time of publication. The focus is on the lives and contributions of the early settlers and pioneers, highlighting their struggles, achievements, and the transformative impact they had on the region. The opening of the book establishes the timeline and context by emphasizing that the history of Linn County is relatively young compared to other regions, covering events primarily within a single lifetime. The authors express a deep respect for the pioneers who endured hardships, and they aim to preserve their stories for future generations, acknowledging the role these settlers played in shaping the community. Additionally, the narrative discusses the earlier inhabitants of the land, including indigenous peoples and the geological formation of Iowa's rich soils, laying the foundation for the detailed exploration of Linn County's history that follows in subsequent chapters.
