Excerpt from A Biographical History of the County of Litchfield, Connecticut: Comprising Biographical Sketches of Distinguished Natives and Residents of the County; Together With Complete Lists of the Judges of the County Court, Justices of the Quorum, County Commissioners, Judges of Probate, Sheriffs, Senators, &C V111 take into consideration the newness of the country around us, and the privations and hardships incident to pioneering in the midst of mountains, and rocks, and swamps, and interminable forests, such as our fathers here encountered, we have no fear in comparing the number and position of our great men, with those of any other region of no greater limits and population. Most of the materials for this volume have been collected from original sources; at the same time the author has availed himself of such other facts and sketches as have fallen in his way, without, inall cases, giving credit. He has aimed to make his work as correct as possible, though even in that particular, it is by no means improbable, that errors of date or otherwise, may now and then be discovered. He hopes it will prove an interesting and valued memorial to those for Whom it is especially intended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
