Excerpt from A History of the Old Town of Stratford of the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut The task of making this book, such as it is, is ended. The work upon it as the history of one of the oldest towns in the State, including one of the youngest and most prosperous cities, has been very attractive and entertaining, and the only regret the author has concerning it is that the income from the sale of the work would not pay for another year's labor, by which a degree of completeness, somewhat satisfactory, might have been attained. This is especially applicable to the genealogies, which in their present state are only the beginning of what might have been secured; which is true, after all the gratuitious labor, put upon them for several years, contributed by the Rev. B. L. Swan, formerly pastor in Stratford, Bridgeport and Monroe, in which he collected a large amount of historical facts which have made the work much more complete than it otherwise would have been. The author has also profited very much from the research and historical collections made, during many years of thoughtful gathering by R. B. Lacey, Esq., Major W. B. Hincks and George C. Waldo, Esq. Many items which they had gathered were as seed producing a hundred fold, when improved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
