Book Description
"To write of one county among the many counties of this great country may seem a little thing. To give special attention to one class of men in a single county may seem a matter of still less importance. When that county is the county of Litchfield, in Connecticut, and the class of men selected comprises those who for more than a hundred and fifty years have been the pastors of its churches, the question has a new significance." In addition to the abundance of valuable data preserved on these pages, this well-written book is a pleasure to read. It opens with the foundations, followed by the pioneers, manners and customs, and an eighteenth century sermon. Biographies and personal sketches precede the section devoted to Episcopal churches. Baptists, Methodists, the clergy as citizens, the clergy in literature, wit and humor, and ministers' children are also discussed. A lengthy appendix contains lists of congregational ministers arranged by town. Numerous vintage photographs of churches and people enhance the text.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Clergy of Litchfield County I AM chie y to blame for this book, though a committee of good men whose judgment I respected asked me to write it. I ought to have known better, and have often wished that somebody might express his opinion of the enormity of my crime in a way to do justice to my own sense of guilt. The things I have omitted - some of them through ignorance, others for lack of space trouble me more than what I have done.

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
Local historian Peter C. Vermilyea tells stories of some forgotten moments in Litchfield County, CT from Native American legends to Cold War relics. Traces of Litchfield County's past are hidden in plain sight. Vestiges of long-abandoned railroad tracks crisscross the county while a decaying and unmarked cinder block structure in Warren is all that remains of a cornerstone of national defense. All but forgotten today, a fire roared through Winsted in 1908, causing residents to flee their rooms at the Odd Fellows boardinghouse. In Bantam, art deco chairs made by the Warren McArthur Corporation prompted the War Department to order bomber seats from the company during World War II. Author Peter C. Vermilyea explores these and other obscure tales from the history of Litchfield County, Connecticut.
