EARLY HAND-WRITTEN MILITIA JOURNAL FOR WINDSOR, DATED 1811.

EARLY HAND-WRITTEN MILITIA JOURNAL FOR WINDSOR, DATED 1811. This very early journal, approx ½” thick, is titled on the front of the first page, “THIS BOOK BELONGS TO THE COMPANY COMMAND CAPTAIN SIMON STONE / WINDOSR / 20 APRIL, 1811”. I assume that this is Windsor Connecticut, however while I see Windsor repeated various times within the book, I do not see the state Connecticut mentioned. A majority of the pages have entries and begin with 1811 with some of the latest entries near the back of the book dating as late as the 1850’s. With marbled cardboard covers and leather spine. Have not read through the journal, but the text is very readable and further research may make this an interesting discovery. SIZE: 7-3/4” high x 6-1/2” wide x ½” thick. CONDITION: Various ink splotches on the front the marble design pretty much completely worn off the covers with some ink splotching. Many of the pages foxed. 4-56595 (300-500)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2006

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
