Connecticut as a colony and as a state; or, One of the original thirteen; . rge, having beendriven some three hundred miles under the personal direc-tion of Colonel Henry Champion and his son first installment of these cattle was devoured by the armyin five days.

Y.,where a reorganization was effected as has been , from the autumn of 1777, the brigade under Gen-eral Parsons was the only Connecticut force under Putnam 112. From an etching by H. B. Hall.
