Synopsis

Arranged for easy use and compiled with obvious attention to detail, this book presents gravestone inscriptions from each of the twelve cemeteries in this region of Connecticut. The author's preface is a succinct, humble summary of the book's valuable contents: "This book is a collection of the inscriptions on gravestones and monuments in all the cemeteries of that area comprising what was Litchfield Town before 1859...The inscriptions contained here are believed to be complete to the year 1900, and a number have been added from tombs and monuments erected since that date. "Before each list of inscriptions found in the several graveyards I have inserted something of their history; and nowhere is the quaintness of old New England life better shown than in these dealings of man concerning his dead." Most dates fall between the mid-18th and late-19th centuries. Fourteen photograph illustrations and an every-name index are also included. (1905, 1996), 2015, 51/2x81/2, paper, index, 332 pp

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
