Excerpt from The History Ridgefield, Conn: From Its First Settlement to the Present Time
A residence of nearly seven years in this beautiful town has greatly endeared it to me. Its hills and valleys have grown as familiar as the faces of its people, and if what I have written shall in any way contribute to the pleasure of my readers, I can assure them that on my part it has been also a pleasure to write.

Iam also greatly indebted to the Library Association of the Athenaeum of Hartford, to Hollister's History of Connecticut, which I esteem the most accurate as well as the most enjoyable history Of the State and to S. G. Good rich's Recollections Of a Lifetime, which gives in the most pleasing manner the romance of the town.
