Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Greenwich: From the Earliest Settlement to the Centennial Anniversary of Our National Independence: Including Also, an Oration Delivered by Hon. D. A. Boies, a Greenwich, N. Y., July 4th, 1876 In presenting this little work to the people of Greenwich and vicinity, the author has only to say, that in the collation of facts concerning the earlier events of the locality now claiming the name of the "Town of Greenwich," he has been obliged to throw out much which has been handed down as truth and has given tradition only where it seemed in absolute conformity with established facts. To ascertain the measure of credence which may properly be given to the legendary history of a town, requires much time and research, combined with judicial discrimination. The author in compiling this pamphlet, has labored faithfully to eliminate the errors which have grown into the unwritten history of the town, and to which many cling tenaciously. He has given, as far as he has been able to obtain them, all important matters connected with the town's history, of which authentic records have been kept, as fully as the plan of his work permitted. There are some things, in regard to which competent authorities differ. In such instances, the views of both parties are given in these pages, with such comments and estimates of conflicting probabilities as have presented themselves to the best judgment of the author.
