Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Popular Biography of Connecticut To each, of the individuals thus designated a personal invitation was extended to appear in the proposed volume, the scope and character of which were fully described and explained. Each recipient of the invitation was requested to furnish data from which an accurate biography of himself might be prepared, and to provide a photograph from which a vignette portrait might be made, for publication in the book. The invitation was a cordial one, but no effort was made to induce anybody to accept it against his wishes. Of the two thousand persons thus invited, about seven hundred accepted unconditionally and furnished the information sought. These seven hundred are included in the present volume. Others desired to appear in the book, but imposed conditions which could not be complied with, - such as that the portrait should be a full-page steel plate; or that the sketch should carry an advertisement of the subject's business; and in one case a gentleman who has a local reputation for writing poetry insisted that sundry specimens of his verse must accompany the sketch. Others declined the invitation for various reasons, principally on the score of "modesty"; and still others would have nothing to do with the matter because they had the impression that somehow they were going to be swindled. Of the entire list fully one-half never responded to the invitation. As will be observed, however, the favorable responses were enough to render the volume sufficiently formidable in size, thoroughly comprehensive in character, and representative of every section of the State. It is a good beginning of an effort the principal object of which has been to familiarize the people of Connecticut with the qualities, the characteristics, the accomplishments, and the features of their fellow-citizens who are or have been leaders and chief burden-bearers in all the active duties of life. To fully accomplish the work thus begun, and similarly present the numerous subjects yet remaining, would require and perhaps may occasion the issue of succeeding volumes. Reference has already been made incidentally to the Popular feature of this compilation; wherein it differs, as it was intended to differ, essentially, from all other compilations of State biography that have heretofore been made in this country. The term Popular in this connection is intended in its best sense - as opposed to Exclusive. This is not the biography of a class, or a sect, or a party, but of the People. Its subjects are selected from all walks of life; and while the list includes some names of world-wide celebrity, and many of great distinction in the State, it embraces also others unknown to fame beyond perhaps the limits of their own neighborhood, yet among the most honorable and in their sphere the most useful citizens of the Commonwealth. It may be safely stated that there is absolutely no other published collection that includes fifty, even, of the seven hundred sketches which are spread upon these pages; yet for the purposes of a reference book of the citizens of Connecticut, to be consulted for information concerning people who are prominent in their respective spheres of activity, the least of all these could not have been omitted from this volume without abridging its usefulness and impairing its value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal parts nostalgic, witty, self-serving, and frank, Connecticut Yankee is an entertaining and informative memoir of the state and a scholar who shaped it. Connecticut native, Yale graduate, Yale professor and dean, and finally, unlikely Governor of the State of Connecticut during the crucial Depression years, Wilbur L. Cross’ s autobiography tells a great American story. As a Yale professor, a writer, and an editor, Wilbur L. Cross devoted himself to the English language, and specifically to understanding how novels were capable of capturing the human condition. His autobiography, Connecticut Yankee is in many ways a novel itself. The protagonist is Cross and the plot is his education. Wilbur Lucius Cross was a most unlikely politician. A noted author and literary critic who had been a professor of English, editor of the Yale Review, and finally, Dean of the Yale Graduate School, his quiet character and almost poetic oration would seem at odds with the cut-throat world of state politics. But is was just this stoic demeanor and inquisitive intelligence, that would help him make a mark on Connecticut politics during his four terms of office, from 1931 to 1939. During his time as governor, he suffered the hardest years of the Depression and worked to implement President Roosevelt’s New Deal, fought for the abolition of child labor, instituted a minimum wage, improved working conditions in factories, and guided the state’s recovery from the devastation of the Great New England Hurricane. He also strove to reorganize the state government, and would help revitalize Connecticut’s Democratic Party, which had been torn by internal strife. Cross was an excellent writer, and here—updated with a new foreword by Yale Law School graduate and author Justin Zaremby—is his compelling account of life from a childhood in the bucolic town of Mansfield, through the hallowed halls of learning at Yale University, to the highest office in Connecticut.

It has in some cases been impossible to secure the cooperation J and support of men of mark who belong in a book of this character. 8 At the same time a larger and more sincere effort has been made to achieve the end in view, without exercising a snobbish discrimination, than has ever before been attempted.

Finally I ask the indulgence of the public for what will unquestionably be detected as short comings on the part of the Editor and his associates, still short comings though anticipated so far as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Citizens of Connecticut: Biographical Memorial While Mr. Tuttle's life was mainly occupied with great manufacturing problems and the industrial development of his own and other localities, he was very far from being the type of man, too often seen, who confines his abilities and interests solely within the limits of his personal pursuits. On the contrary, despite the demands made upon both time and energy by the great business interests which he represented, he gave generous thought and service to many other personal activities, especially such as would advance the welfare of the community of which he was a member. One of the valuable bequests made by him to Naugatuck was that of a tract of land situated in the immediate neighborhood for cemetery purposes. This is now controlled and managed by the Grove Cemetery Association, and it was here that four years after the death of Mr. Tuttle, a beautiful mortuary chapel was erected in his memory by his wife.
