Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Statue Erected to Commemorate the Heroic Achievement of Maj. John Mason and His Comrades: With an Account of the Unveiling Ceremonies
The story of national and state testimonials of historic import, how they came to be thought of, and by what process of action and argument they were evolved, is always interesting, and deserves perpetuation in some lasting form; for usually such memorials are incentives to patriotism, and this is a feeling the nation and state should cultivate by all the means at their com mand.
In regard to the statue lately erected to the memory of Maj. John Mason and his comrades, on Pequot Hill, in the village of Mystic River, and town of Groton, Conn., this. Is particularly true. It is the memorial of a most heroic action, an action that. Admitted of no delay, and which was carried out with a prompt ness, energy, and thoroughness that were the salvation of those colonists who had made New England their home.
