Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Town of Sharon: Litchfield County, Conn, From Its First Settlement The author of the following pages, was requested by his fellow citizens of the town of Sharon, to prepare an address to be delivered at the celebration of the one hundreth anniversary of their first town meeting, on the 22d day of December, 1839. This request was complied with, but the short period in which it was prepared, rendered it, necessarily in many respects, imperfect, and in some, inaccurate. By the advice of many friends he has been induced to embody the facts connected with the history of the town, in the form here presented, and to commit the work to the press for the benefit of the inhabitants of his adopted town. The labor of making the researches has, necessarily, occupied much time, and no effort has been spared to make the work accurate in its details. In preparing sketches of the many citizens of the town, who are brought to notice in the last chapter, the personal history of more than two hundred individuals, many of whom have been dead for a half century, has been investigated, and many names which had long since gone into forgetfulness are brought to light. It is not unlikely that in this part of the work some errors may have intervened, but it is believed, that in almost every instance, accuracy has been attained. If the work shall prove interesting or useful to the citizens of the town, the labor incurred in its preparation will be well repaid.
