Excerpt from Greenwich in 1940: Being a Brief Historical Sketch of the Town With Views of the Principal Buildings and Homes in the Community and Including Who's Who in Greenwich There have been many admirable volumes dipping deeply into the history and legend of Greenwich, and it is from these sources that much of the material for the historical section of greenwich IN 1940 has been drawn. Daniel Merritt Mead's A History of the Town of Greenwich, Spencer Mead's Ye Historie of Ye Town of Greenwich, Frederick A. Hubbard's Other Days in Greenwich, and Greenwich Old and New by Lydia Holland and Margaret Leaf have proved invaluable to the author.
