Excerpt from The History of the Town of Litchfield, Connecticut: 1720-1920 Again, it was impossible to attempt more than a compilation from sources readily at hand. These sources, fortunately, were numerous, taken together astonishingly complete, and, what is especially important, in the main admir ably written. Many chapters have written themselves by the simple process of quotation, and the temptation to rewrite such parts, which would have been no gain to the reader, has been removed by the pressure of the work.

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.

Excerpt from Some Historic Sites of Litchfield, Connecticut The great archways of elms over the broad streets have not always been one of the beauties of the town. Most of these great trees date from the early nineteenth century and recall the names of Wolcott, Calhoun, and other notable men who planted them when the roads were wide and open.
