Euro- peans, crowded in by their seeming lack of space and by a rigid social order, looked with longing across the ocean where space and opportunity abounded. Time and again, men critical of their own society hoped by migration to find the scope for working out their visions of a better order. Yet, in the actual coming, as likely as not, they en- countered the standing quandary of the revolutionary. They had themselves been rebels in order to put into prac- tice their ideas of a new society. But to do so they had to restrain the rebellion of others.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

JOHN H. PERRY ON OCTOBER TWELFTH, NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIVE NEW YORK 1905 THE GREAT SWAMP FIGHT IN FAIRFIELD HON. JOHN H. PERRY You are met this afternoon in a town conspicuously honorable and honored even in the Connecticut galaxy. I am not its historian nor its panegyrist. It has notable incumbents of both offices, who should be in my place to-day. While I once professed to right wrongs, I never pretended to write stories, and my present predicament is the evolved outcome of a long line of pious ancestry, my fitness to survive which is demonstrated by a genius for obedience. When I was bidden to read a paper to you I found my ability to disobey atrophied by long disuse. I can tender nothing worthy of the town or the occasion, and I frankly throw myself for mercy upon that peace- with-all-the-world feeling which invariably follows the hospitality of Osborn Hill. To have steadily produced Jenningses and Goulds and Burrs generation after generation would alone pay the debt of any town to its country; but Fairfield, insatiable in usefulness, has not been content with that. She has produced college founders and Yale presidents, great preachers, United States senators and representa- tives, famous poets, learned judges, governors, secretaries of state, and other notables in number out of all proportions to her size.

ENTERED, A ccording to Act of Congress, in the year 1838, BY E DWARD R. LAMBERT, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Connecticut. PREFACE. AUTHENTIC h istory is of high importance. It exhibits the juris prudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it •warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? Buta little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the " Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common counfry unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen. The desert has been made " to bud and blossom as the rose." And •what but the sword of civil discord can arrest the giant march of improvement, (yet advancing with accelerating rapidity,) till " the noblest empire iu the reign of time" shall extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific wave.

    DARIEN, CONNECTICUT 2006 TOWN PLAN OF CONSERVATION & DEVELOPMENT Effective June 25, 2006 Darien Town Plan of Conservation & Development Adopted: May 23, 2006 Effective: June 25, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission Members: Patrick J. Damanti, Chairman Frederick B. Conze, Vice-Chairman Joseph H. Spain, Secretary Peter Bigelow Ursula W. Forman David J. Kenny Traffic and Transportation Consultant: URS Corporation Environmental Resources Consultant: Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. Graphics work in Chapter 9: Wesley Stout Associates PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION’S STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Section 8-23 of the Connecticut General Statutes requires that local planning commissions prepare a Plan of Conservation and Development (“Plan” or “Town Plan”) at least once every ten years. The Town of Darien has been creating and implementing such plans for over 40 years. The Town Plan is just that - a plan/a vision/a roadmap. The Town Plan offers various projects and directions, many of which can be implemented on a variety of levels and scopes. The Plan has specifically been developed without a cost/benefit analysis and without a priority list of projects. The development of the costs, affordability, priorities, and other issues are left to the involved private sector parties and the appropriate town boards at the time that the projects are recommended for implementation. The fundamental goal has been, and continues to be, the preservation and enhancement of an attractive suburban living environment, but within those broad parameters are numerous factors which must be addressed to best assure achieving that goal. This Plan is the Town's most recent attempt to guide private and public participants toward this goal.
