Cloth. $95.* Litchfield Law School, the first American law school, was founded by Tapping Reeve in 1782. The work is composed of materials relevant to the school and related personages, and contains historical notes, biographies, photographs, accounts of important trials and the following reprints: "Litchfield County: Historical Address Delivered at Litchfield, Conn., On the Occasion of the Centennial Celebration, 1851, by Samuel Church"; "Sketches of the Early Lights of the Litchfield Bar by David S. Boardman" (1860); "Fifty Years at the Litchfield County Bar by Charles F. Sedgwick" (1870); and "Reminiscences of the Litchfield County Bar, Delivered at the Centennial Banquet, November 18, 1898, by Donald J. Warner."
Litchfield is Connecticut's least populated county, yet it boasts more ghosts and legends than anywhere else in the region. Indian spirits and curses pursue those who wronged them. Haunted caves and camps harbor spirits that once called these places home. The Clairvoyant of Colebrook communicated regularly with the dead, while some guests of the Yankee Pedlar Inn refuse to leave. From the Twin Lakes Ghost Canoe in Salisbury to the friendly literary spirit at the Bank Street Book Nook, echoes of the past abound. Tom D'Agostino and Arlene Nicholson reveal the dark secrets of the Nutmeg State's shadowy northwest corner.
