| Summary: | During the early nineteenth century, John Warner Barber, an amateur historian, an engraver and a painter, traveled around Connecticut sketching town greens, hotels, schools, churches, and harbors. He collected local history during his travels and immersed himself in the works of such noted historians as Dr. Trumbull. From these labors he produced Connecticut Historical Collections. |
