Excerpt from The New-England History and Genealogical Register, 1889, Vol. 43 These remarkable stories, associated, as they Were, with the old mansion and the wild and picturesque domain once occupied by the Indians, made a vivid impression upon my imagination, and I afterwards determined to verify them as opportunity might occur, and commit them to writing. In doing this, I have examined many manuscript and printed pages, and files of colonial newspapers; I have fallen unexpectedly upon Sir Henry's Journal, - written in his own hand and covering a period of about thirteen years, and have also received assistance and letters of encouragement from many different individuals. The old mansion house was burned Jan. 23, 1858. A. New house, similar in form, size and style, and on the same site, was at once erected.
