Book Description
Excerpt from The Bi-Centennial Celebration of the Settlement of Litchfield, Connecticut, August 1-4, 1920: Compiled for the Litchfield Historical Society As authorized by Special Act of the Connecticut Legislature an appropriation of Five Thousand Dollars was made from the town treasury to defray the general expenses of the cele bration and every permanent and Summer resident entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion. The public and mercantile buildings, and with scarcely an exception, the houses in the Borough were profusely deco rated. The display of ags was remarkable, many rare ban ners and emblems of national and political character being shown. The facade of the Beckwith house on South Street was nearly covered with thirteen different flags, each one connected with some phase of American history, including sevo eral of the original colonies, the famous Rattlesnake emblem, early Revolutionary banners and a Civil War flag that was under fire at Fort Sumter, while on the Seymour homestead next door was a large and beautiful flag of the Order of the Cincinnati.

Connecticut Families of the Revolution

Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Some of the most prominent families of the American Revolution proudly hailed from Connecticut. Committed to the pursuit of freedom, men like Major General David Wooster led troops into battle, while Samuel Huntington and others risked it all by signing the Declaration of Independence. Women might have stayed at home, but they played a vital part by producing goods for soldiers while also taking care of their property and children. In the wake of war, Sarah Pierce started the Litchfield Female Academy and taught proteges like Harriet Beecher Stowe. Family members often enlisted alongside one another. Elijah and David Humphreys were two such brothers who proudly served in the war together. From the Burrs to the Wolcotts, author Mark Allen Baker reveals what life was like for Connecticut families during the Revolutionary War.
