This digitized version of Goodspeed's 1888 book features an index that was added to make the book easier to use. To view the book here, you must create a Family Search account (free). Unfortunately, though indexed, the version on this website is a more difficult to navigate through. It is suggested you use the index from the book here and then go to the digitized version of the book at the Missouri Digital Heritage website (the other link to the book on this list). Also see the other entry for a detailed description of the book.
