Overview

Excerpt from Centennial Commemoration of the Burning of Fairfield, Connecticut by the British Troops Under Governor Tryon: July 8th, 1779 The Decoration Committee carried out their pur pose of cheering and enlarging the fellowship of the occasion by displaying the flags of the great nations of the world, especially remembering France, our ally of old, and England, once our enemy, but now our friend, and as such invited to our assembly, alike by our note to her Minister and by placing her flag near our own, an act which mingled courtesy to the mother country, with a quiet and dignified intimation that America, once so feeble, is now great enough to honor the great of the earth by her hospitable regard.
