Book Description

Excerpt from Bottle Hill and Madison: Glimpses and Reminiscences From Its Earliest Settlement to the Civil War Nearly all the facts of local history contained in this book are from notes of personal conversations with eye witnesses of the events narrated. The facts were obtained about the year 1855 by the Rev. Samuel Lawrence Tuttle, at that time pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Madison, N. J. With the earnest patriotism which always distinguished him, he sought out many aged people in the neighborhood, and obtained their recollections of the times and events of the Revolution. To embody and preserve these statements has been the main object of this work. The author desires to acknowledge his indebted ness to his daughter, Gertrude Amelia Tuttle, for her indefatigable assistance in arranging its con tents, and particularly in the preparation of its illustrations and embellishments, and the two pencil sketches of Wayne Headquarters and Brittin Store drawn in her childhood.
