I just added the book Litchfield County Sketches, by Newell Meeker Calhoun (1906) to the books at my web site. The books are listed at the bottom of the history page. This book contains 17 sketches of life in Litchfield County, but most would apply to all of the area as wll as Litchfield County. These are all fairly small, so they make easy reading, and will give a little more insite into whare your ancestors lived. http://www.rays-place.com Ray Brown
