• 774A WHERE WE LIVE Valentine 437

  Material I created to build the WKCHS Facebook Page with Images from the Valentine Digital Collection and Notes. Some contributed comments are retained with authorships. This booklet is the material that had been posted to the Historical Society Facebook page by Linda Valentine in the beginning 2012 thru 2015 and was mixed in with society projects and news. I was asked to write a book and it appears that I created one by creating chapters for hamlets and topics that made us "who we are" and "where we live". It wasn’t written as a reference book nor as an authority on the subject. It was written casually for a casual read with enough information and hints for a researcher to pursue on their own accord, those areas of most interest. After this material was copied, it was deleted from the Facebook pages. Between the time that this photo/comment project was started and until this off loading, Facebook had made several changes regarding privacy, copyright and ability to search. The changes did not reflect on my need to be able to control the page or the information on it and so, as the author, I decided to remove my material. Information freely offered on the public page that was important to future researches has been retained with their names as author. Linda Valentine, the originator of the page and the author of the material and the provider of the digital images, felt that Facebook was more about controlling all content than as an outlet for information. Never, did Linda Valentine agree to Facebook authority in copyright. This document however, is copyrighted by Linda Valentine and cannot be reproduced for any profit or placement on any website without express permission from Linda or representative/s. The photos in this document are representative. These images should be in the Valentine Digital Archive and at a much better DPI. The photos and comments are presented as they were in the albums of the Facebook page in no particular album sequence, Unless at the transfer, better, more definitive information was present., the words were as they were first presented. This is a digital document and has not ever been printed. The original materials referenced herein were contributed by those of the area who wished that the history they have experienced be saved for the future generations.
