SynopsisExcerpt from History of Norfolk: Litchfield County, Connecticut "Of making many books there is no end." "O that mine adversary had written a book." - Holy Wait. Some years ago, in searching out family genealogy, the want of a history of my native town became to me apparent. As bits of Norfolk history were from time to time discovered, in books and elsewhere, such items were preserved, and the accumulation began. A desire to learn many things from those whose memories and traditions go back to the early part of this century took hold upon me, and knowing full well that upon those around whom the shades of evening have gathered, soon the sun will set, and their remembrances be forever beyond our reach, an effort to obtain these things through correspondence was made, with results not altogether satisfactory. In June, 1899, I came 'home' and soon took up in earnest the work of preparing a history of Norfolk. The encouragement and kindly assistance of a large number of the present residents of the town, and former residents as well, has made the difficult, perplexing task a pleasure. Mention by name cannot well be made of the large number who have put me under lasting obligations for their kind assistance. Some of them have done for others and for me what they could do, and have 'entered into their rest.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
