Book Description
Excerpt from The Litchfield Book of Days: A Collation of the Historical, Biographical, and Literary Reminiscences of the Town of Litchfield, Connecticut The Litchfield of to-day is in many respects a modern town. Its stores, with scarce an exception, are as new as those of Seattle or Tacoma; its churches have all been built within the memory of men and women who worship in them. And while for more than a century the beauty of its situation and the charm of its streets have been justly celebrated, yet it is within recent years that all this has been greatly enhanced by the Village Improvement Society, and by the enterprise and philanthropy of its citizens. But no stranger who walks beneath the venerable elms on its broad park-like streets, or looks upon its comfortable and stately homes, but feels that he is on historic ground, - and he is right, for there is scarcely a town of its size, even in New England, that can compare with it in memories of more than local interest. This is the home of the Wolcotts and Beechers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pages : 580
Book Description
Excerpt from Historical Records of the Town of Cornwall, Litchfield County, Connecticut The importance of preserving in permanent form the incidents in the history of every community has induced me to gather the materials for this volume. No one untried in such work is aware of the difficulties encountered in collecting unpublished facts. My honored father, Dr. Samuel W. Gold, in his advanced years undertook this work, and I shall confine myself mostly to editing his papers, adding such historical discourses as present our life in its home details, omitting in large degree what the sons of Corn wall have done in national affairs, as finding its appropriate place in national history. Of course this implies some repetition, but it is better to give original records than to trust to reorganizing them, for thus much of their peculiar value will be destroyed. If undue prominence appears to have been given to any events, we must remember that they were not considered as small by the actors in them, and per haps may thence derive some useful lessons for personal appli cation. I have solicited full details of family histories, and have waited a year for such documents. Too few have been presented. The leanness of this department is due to the neglect of those who ought to feel most interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
