Wicked Litchfield County

ISBN: 1625857365
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Thieves, rumrunners and rapscallions all color the unsavory side of Litchfield County history. Townspeople accused women of witchcraft simply for not bearing enough children in the early days of the region. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Owen Sullivan and William Stuart took advantage of the county's isolated stretches and a currency shortage to build counterfeiting empires. In 1780, Barnett Davenport's brutal actions earned him infamy as the nation's first mass murderer. Small-time speakeasies slowly took hold, and the omnipresence of alcohol-fueled crime led to the birth of the nationwide prohibition movement. Local historian Peter C. Vermilyea explores these and other devilish tales from the seedier history of Litchfield County.

Book Description
Excerpt from Litchfield and Morris Inscriptions: A Record of Inscriptions Upon the Tombstones in the Towns of Litchfield and Morris, Ct HE publishing of this book is the result of a wish I have long entertained of placing in permanent form and thus preserving the rapidly disappear ing inscriptions upon the tombstones of my native town. Mr. Charles Thomas Payne, of New York City, a descendant of a number of the families who founded the Town of Litch field, cordially seconded my desires, and spent several summers transcribing them. This he has faithfully done for all prior to 1900, and many later inscriptions have been gathered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
