HURLBURT CHARLES WILLIAM AND WILSON SPENCER Farmington, Connecticut WITHOUT THEIR CONSTANT INSPIRATION AND PRACTICAL HELP IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN Manu/aeiurtd in Ike United Slater oj America PRESS OF FINLAY BROTHERS. HARTFORD. CONNECTICUT / FOREWORD In reading and studying the records of the Town of Farm- ington for the 300 years of its existence, one is impressed with the loyal care and faithfulness with which the townspeople guarded their heritage. This inheritance imposed its obligations, just as it brought its rewards. If there were errors in judgment, if there was at times too much stress and strain over small things, after great things had been accomplished with seeming ease — it was their right — one of their freedoms, to experiment, to err, to learn. That the ultimate result, after 300 years, is as good as it is shows that the basic principles were sound. I have endeavoured in the selection of the records used, to show the growth of the town, without the loss of fundamentals; to show an outward change about the town which has not affec ted its foundations. Much of value and interest has already been written about Farmington. This has not been repeated unless it seemed vital to the thread of the story. Farmington history is not startling. It is, however, a fair sample of what has made this country of ours what it is today. 11 CONTENTS Page John Steele (1646-1665) i The Seed is Sown William Lewis (1665-1690) 25 The Roots Go Deep John Hart (1686-1702) 38 Healthy Growth Thomas Bull (1690-1704) 42 Training the Young Growth John Hooker (1704-1740) 46 More Seeds are Sown Deacon John Hart (1741-1748) 55 The Years of Cultivation Capt.

  • “It Rushed Into the Fight with Its Well
    IRISH BRIGADE Edited by Robert McLernon IRISH BRIGADE “…It Rushed Into The Fight With Its Well-known Gallantry…” I often find tributes to the courage and gallantry of the Irish Brigade in combat. William F. Fox Regimental Losses In The Civil War (1889) Page 118: “The Irish Brigade was, probably, the best known of any brigade organization, it having made an unusual reputation for dash and gallantry. The remarkable precision of its evolutions under fire; its desperate attack on the impregnable wall at Marye’s Heights; its never failing promptness on every field, and its long continuous service, made for it a name inseparable from the history of the war.” Joseph G. Bilby Remember Fontenoy! Introduction: “It was, many said, the best brigade in the Army of the Potomac. Some said it was the best brigade in the whole Union army and perhaps the best infantry brigade on either side in the American Civil War. Others, with the perspective of history, have come to believe it may have been the best infantry brigade that ever was.” William F. Fox Final Report on the Battlefield of Gettysburg – New York at Gettysburg, p. 485: “It would be impossible to write the history of the Army of the Potomac without giving the highest of praise to the gallant Irish Brigade.” “Their deeds will be remembered in song and in story so long as the history of our country is read. Irishmen everywhere have reason to be proud of the Irish Brigade.” Speech of Col. James D. Brady, 63rd New York “The Irish Brigade’s loss of 961 soldiers killed or mortally wounded in action was exceeded by only two other brigades in the Union army.” Fox “Regimental Losses” The other two were the Vermont Brigade, and the Iron Brigade.

  • VOL. XLIII, NO. 8 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 August 2003
    VOL. XLIII, NO. 8 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 August 2003 "It wasn't like a battle at all…it was more like Indian warfare," remembered John McClure, a young private in the 14th Indiana Infantry. "I hid behind a tree and looked out. Across the way…was a rebel aiming at me. I put my hat on a stick…and stuck it out from behind the tree-as bait. Then I saw him peep out of the thicket and I shot him. It was the first time I'd ever seen the man I'd killed, and it was an awful feeling." This deadly incident, on May 5, 1864, was only one of such commonplace bloody episodes that occurred in the bitter struggle known as the Wilderness. Beginning in 1864 North and South stood in weary stalemate. All of the Federal victories from the previous year, including Gettysburg and Vicksburg, had seriously weakened the Confederacy, but, it remained bowed, not broken. For the North to win the war, now starting its fourth year, the Confederate armies must be crushed. The South, conversely, had one final hope: stymie the North's plans and count upon a war-weary Northern home front to force the conflict to the peace table. Now in early May of 1864, the two most notable titans of the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, were about to come face-to-face in a final showdown to determine the war's outcome. Grant, whose roller coaster career had nearly ended on several occasions, was given the revitalized rank of Lieutenant General by President Lincoln, and the amazingly difficult task of besting the Army of Northern Virginia, something his predecessors had found nigh impossible.

A DEFENSE OF THE 63RD NEW YORK STATE VOLUNTEER REGIMENT OF THE IRISH BRIGADE By PATRICIA VATICANO Master of Arts in History University of Richmond 2008 Dr. Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director During the American Civil War, New York State’s irrepressible Irish Brigade was alternately composed of a number of infantry regiments hailing both from within New York City and from within and without the state, not all of them Irish, or even predominantly so. The Brigade’s core structure, however, remained constant throughout the war years and consisted of three all-Irish volunteer regiments with names corresponding to fighting units made famous in the annuals of Ireland’s history: the 69th, the 88th, and the 63rd. The 69th, or Fighting 69th, having won praise and homage for its actions at First Bull Run, was designated the First Regiment of the Brigade and went on to even greater glory in the Civil War and every American war thereafter.

  • Greek Revival Arciiitecture in the Rochester Area
    GREEK REVIVAL ARCIIITECTURE IN THE ROCHESTER AREA By the Same Author "COBBLESTONE ARCHITECTURE" Published 1944 The Hervey Ely House, Rochester, N. Y. GREEK REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE ROCHESTER AREA CARL F. SCHMIDT Published April 1946 Copyright 1946 by CARL F. SCHMIDT Published By CARL F. SCHMIDT Scottsville, N. Y. This Book Is Dedicated to My Mother and Father INTRODUCTION JT IS regrettable that while much has been recorded and published regarding the earlier Colonial and Georgian work of western New York State, there is no record of those later structures designed in the Greek Revival style which developed to such a high degree in the Genesee Valley, except as a very few exan1plcs appear in works which attempt to cover that period throughout the coun­ try. While most of the buildings followed variations of much the same pattern in that style, it did off er an infinite variety in detail, some quite heavy, made of simple lun1bcr forms, and others using cornices, trim and mouldings of great refinement and beauty. These arc days of argument and disagreement between those who advocate discarding all old and known forms and going con1plctely overboard on an uncharted sea in the design of buildings, and those who still feel that tra­ ditional forms must and should be studied, at least to a limited degree. The latter group insist, and logically, that one cannot. write good English prose without first learn­ ing the alphabet and acquiring a vocabulary and, by virtue of the same reasoning, arc of the opinion that a study of the good architecture of the past will furnish the best foundation and background for good architecture in the future.
