Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Groton Heights: A Story of the Storming of Fort Griswold, and the Burning of New London, on the Sixth of September, 1781 Moved by the patriotic sentiments which the memory of such a day in our national history as September 6th, 1781, is calculated to arouse, "a number of gentlemen in Groton, in the year 1826, organized an association for the purpose of erecting a monument." This simple memorial shaft is composed of granite quarried from the same soil which those to whom it is dedicated, defended with their lives. The corner stone was laid September 6th, 1826, and the monument was dedicated September 6th, 1830, in a manner befitting the place and the occasion. During the centennial year of 1881, the height, originally one hundred and twenty-seven feet, was extended, so that the column now measures one hundred and thirty-five feet. Other important improvements were also made. The monument is in form an obelisk, twenty-two feet square at base of the shaft, and eight and one-half feet at the base of the pyramidion, resting on a die twenty-four feet square, and this again on a base twenty-six feet square. The top is reached by a circular stairway of one hundred and sixty-six steps, and is two hundred and sixty-five feet above the waters of the Thames. From the apex a picture of unrivaled beauty presents itself, covering the opposite bank of the river, the hills to the west of Montville, and extending far out over the waters of Long Island Sound, as well as Fishers Island Sound and Fishers Island. The original marble slab inserted in the west wall of the die contained the following inscription: This Monument Was erected under the patronage of the State of Connecticut, A. D. 1830, and in the 55th year of the Independence of the U. S. A. In memory of the Brave Patriots who fell in the massacre of Fort Griswold near this spot on the 6th of September, A. D. 1781, when the British under the command of the traitor Benedict Arnold, burnt the towns of New London Groton, and spread desolation and woe throughout this region. The visitor to the scenes of Fort Griswold should not fail to note the well, which is the same existing at the time of the massacre, and to which dying men "in fevered anguish wistfully turned and vainly craved of the implacable Briton its cooling draught."

Book excerpt: Cat Taylor is furious when her cousin steals her father’s ashes to scatter on the mountain—but when they get caught in a blizzard, can the two work together to survive? Cat Taylor’s father and uncle, a famous search-and-rescue team, died on Storm Mountain two years ago, and Cat and her mother still can’t seem to move on. When her mom goes away on business for the weekend, Cat thinks she has the house to herself—until her cousin Ty suddenly shows up at her door, claiming his dad visited him in a dream and told him to scatter the two brothers’ ashes at the mountain’s summit. Cat refuses; how can Ty ask her to let go of her dad? But when she wakes up the next morning, Cat discovers that Ty has gone to Storm Mountain—and he took her father’s ashes with him. Determined to stop Ty before he does something crazy, Cat races up the mountain after him.

Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1852 Excerpt: ...of 1676 may be assigned. Mr. Carpenter lived at Niantic Ferry, of which he had a lease from Edward Palmes. He left an only son, David, baptized Nov. 12th, 1682, and several daughters. His relict married William Stevens, of Killingworth. Alexander Pygan, died in 1701. On his first arrival in the plantation, Mr. Pygan appears to have been a lawless young man, of " passionate and distempered carriage," as it was then expressed; one who we may suppose " left his country for his country's good." But the restraints and influences with which he was here surrounded, produced their legitimate effect, and he became a discreet and valuable member of the community. Alexander Pygan, of Norwich, Old England, was married unto Judith, daughter of William Redfin, (Redfield, ) June 17th, 1667. Children. 1. Sarah, born Feb. 23d, 1669-70; married Nicholas Hallam. 2. Jane, " Feb., 1670-1; married Jonas Green. Mrs. Judith Pygan died April 30th, 1678. After the death of his wife, Mr. Pygan dwelt a few years at Saybrook, where he had a shop of goods, and was licensed by the county court as an innkeeper. Here also he married an estimable woman, Lydia, relict of Samuel Boyes, April 15th, 1684. Only one child was the issue of this marriage. 3. Lydia, born Jan. 10th, 16S4-5; married Rev. Eliphalet Adams. Samuel Boyes, the son of Mrs. Lydia Pygan, by her first husband, was bom Dec. 6th, 1673. Mr. Pygan soon returned with his family to New London, where he died in the year 1701. He is the only person of the family name of Pygan, that the labor of genealogists has as yet brought to light in New England. His relict, Mrs. Lydia Pygan, died July 20th, 1734. She was the daughter of William and Lydia Bemont, of Saybrook, and born March 9 th, 1644.1 1 Her mother is said...
