Book Description
The town of Groton officially came into being in 1818, after citizens successfully petitioned to change their town's name. Later during the 19th century, this industrial community was famous for the manufacturing of road rollers, iron bridges, and carriages. The early 1900s brought typewriter manufacturing to Groton. Included in the town of Groton are the hamlets of Groton City, McLean, Peruville, and West Groton. Throughout the early years, these hamlets were booming with businesses and industry, and both town and village display a rich architectural legacy. Groton had many well-known residents, such as the Conger family, including Benn Conger, a member of the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate; Dexter Marsh, cofounder of the First National Bank of Groton; Welthea Marsh, the first and only woman president of the bank; and inventor Nelson Streeter.

A Patriot's History of the United States
Author: Larry Schweikart
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101217782
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1373
Book Description
For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
