Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Second Division Naval Militia: Connecticut National Guard
Interesting stories about the First Division Of New Haven came to the ears of many lovers Of salt water in Hartford. Stories they were of the splendid success Of that crack command, the good times which the fun lovers' of the company enjoyed, the good fellowship shown, the capacity for hard technical work and the growing esteem in which it was 'held both by the adjutant - general's office and the Navy Department at Washington. And so it was that a little knot of similar spirits in Hartford was formed, men with fondness for yachting on the Sound or with patriotic pride in the Navy who gravitated together after a nucleus had been developed.
