Book Description

Excerpt from A Modern History of New Haven and Eastern New Haven County, Vol. 1 The rush and pressure of daily newspaper work is not conducive to that leisure and spirit of research which must precede careful historical production, and this must explain in part, though it may not excuse, the deficiencies of these pages. Moreover, much ground has been covered in a. Brief period of time, and the defects which may appear were inevitable. It will be obvious that this is not an attempt to tell again the story of these towns in their past, already, in most cases, told so well before. As to origins, no more has been attempted than to pick up some threads which may bind together a story that is chie y in the present time. As a panorama of the New Haven and Eastern New Haven County of today, with emphasis oii certain significant features of them, these pages are presented. The writer realizes their deficiencies by the usual historical tests, and only hopes that their errors are chie y those of omission.
