To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not unfrequently, the father took one side, and the sons the other — and brothers sometimes took opposite sides. " Natural affection" seemed for awhile to be regarded as a sentiment which ought not to be tolerated between whig and tory. This feeling reached its culminating point in the death of Daniel Griswold, already mentioned in the letters of Dr. Smith. Griswold is said to have been a young man of good character and great energy, and was not unpopular with a large class of whigs. Perhaps, b...y the bloody code of war, he ought to have suffered death as a trai- tor for enlisting soldiers for the king's service ; though it is a fact beyond dispute, that there were among the king's troops, in that very contest, whole regiments of " Royal Americans," as they were styled. Many of the leading whigs of Litchfield were open in their condemnation of the action of the Court Martial in this instance, and the event probably did not advance the republican cause in this town.
