Author Description

Excerpt from A Memoir of Daniel Wadsworth Coit: Of Norwich, Connecticut, 1787-1876 To see him tell the story, sitting by his own fireside or under the elms in the summer twilight, to listen, and to lead him on by questions from one ad venture to another, is more charming than written words; for With pen in hand he sometimes assumes that his readers are as familiar as he is With the causes, the events, and the environ ment that governed or seemed to gov ern him in critical periods of his life.
