Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Exercises at the Unveiling of the Monument to Adjutant William Campbell: Who Fell During the British Invasion of New Haven, July 5, 1779 Collectors were appointed from the Committee, and the sum of $250. was raised by popular subscription. The Sons of St. George voted from the treasury, $25. Before taking any decisive action, the two gentlemen named on page first laid the matter before several prominent and patriotic citizens, who heartily approved it, and encouraged them to proceed. It was also submitted to the New Haven Colony Historical Society, who on April 27, 1891., passed unanimously the following resolution: "Resolved: That this Society views with hearty approval the proposition to erect, by popular subscription, a monument to Adjutant Campbell, who fell during the attack on New Haven, July 5, 1779." At a special meeting of the Directors held Saturday, June 13, 1891, it was Voted, that the Historical Society take charge of the Unveiling Exercises, and the following Committee of Arrangements was appointed: Prof. Simeon E. Baldwin, Gen. Edward E. Bradley, George Petrie, Esq. A plot of land 25 x 225 feet, containing the grave was donated by Miss Marv E. Ailing, and another adjoining 50 x 225 feet, by the estate of the late H. J. Prudden. The Monument Committee desire to put on record their indebtedness to Prof. Simeon E. Baldwin, Gen. Edward E. Bradley, Henry T. Blake, and George Petrie, for the valuable advice and co-operation they have given from the outset. Also to the collectors and contributors to the Monument Fund, and to the daily press of New Haven. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
