Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Town of Canton
The committee found that Mr. Huntoon had left untouched the history of the town during the War of the Rebellion, so far as such history relates to the service of its soldiers in the field and its citizens at home; and it was at first their inten tion to have this omission supplied, so far as might be, by some other hand. But it was found that in order to carry out this plan it would be necessary to omit from the book other matter properly belonging to it, which the committee believed they could not with propriety do' and so they re luctantly abandoned the plan of adding a war chapter to the work, hoping that at some time the services of Canton's citizens and soldiers in the great conflict may be recorded in enduring form.
