Synopsis
Excerpt from Phases of the History of Cornwall
Edward C. Starr. I have also made some use of documents in the Hartford State Library and the mass of unexplored materials stored in the Cornwall Library. On recent history, I am greatly indebted to the personal recollections of many of my friends in the town whose assistance is now gratefully acknowledged. As I have said in the text, much material on Cornwall history must exist in the archives of our families and will disappear if not deposited for future use in some perma nent repository like the library of the town. It is to be hoped that the representatives of these families will take such action and that furthermore those who can recall events and cus toms will write them down and deposit the statement in the library; as a result our successors will be able to reconstruct the life of the present when it too will have pas_s_e'd away. I make particular acknowledgement to my wife who was always a keen and kindly critic and to Miss Emily Marsh, the skilled librarian of the town whose wide knowledge of the contents of the library was always at my command and who was unwearied in her assistance during and after hours. Preparation of this inadequate record of the history of our town has been a great privilege and pleasure; it revealed for the first time to the writer the extent to which the secrets of American life lie almost untouched by historians in the archives of local history.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, which examines the evolution of a New England town founded in 1739, demonstrates how communities adapt to new social and economic factors. The author analyzes the founding principles of the town, focusing on how the settlers' religious and political beliefs molded community structure. The book follows Cornwall's development for 200 years, tracing its transformation from an isolated farming community to a bustling hub of industry and commerce. The author shows how the growth of national industries and the expansion of transportation networks impacted local businesses and led to the decline of self-sufficient farming, a trend that would eventually contribute to a gradual population decline.
