Excerpt from The Revolutionary Soldiers of Redding: Connecticut, and the Record of Their Services Mr. John N. Nickerson, town clerk of Redding, tor free access to the town records; to Mr. Charles Burr Todd for permission to quote from his works, and to numerous friends, not less valued because unnamed, whose contributions have enabled the author to more fully complete records which add much to the interest of the volume. A brief index has been added to the historical section. From the arrangement of the biographical portion of the work, an index is there considered unnecessary. The illustrations in this work have been procured with considerable difficulty. The cut of Putnam's headquarters, taken from Barber's "Connecticut Historical Collection," was obtained through the courtesy of Mr. Albert C. Bates, librarian of the Historical Society; the photographs of Rev. Mr. Bartlett, the guardhouse, and Gallows Hill were secured by Mr. F. E. Headman, photographer, of Norwalk, Conn., and six halftones are the work of the Hartford Engraving Company. The illustrations of the entrance and monument at Putnam Memorial Camp were kindly loaned by Mr. George A. Parker, of the Camp Commission. For the British orders, reports, returns, and correspondence the author is principally indebted to Messrs. B. F. Stevens and Brown of London, England.
