Nota

Foreword: The citizens of Connecticut have the right to be proud of the history of their state. It has been among the foremost in giving glory and luster to the history of our nation. These stories tell something of the deeds that have led to such results. They are condensed from the accounts found in many standard histories of Connecticut and from records of our state library. They are written especially for our boys and girls. It is the hope of their author that they may be read with interest and pleasure by the youth of Connecticut and that all who read them may, as a result, take greater pride in their state and its welfare; become more ardent in their patriotism and love for home and country, and be more eager to maintain and defend those principles of liberty, justice, law, order and good government which have made the name of Connecticut honored in the past and which must be maintained for the sake of the honor and happiness of her citizens in the future
