Excerpt from The Story of the American Legion in Connecticut The National Convention in Minneapolis and other work prevented my doing very much toward writing a history. Then, when I did start, I found that hardly a record had been kept of anything that was done before the October' convention. This necessitated a lot of letter writ ing, and a tr1p or two to headquarters at Hartford. Answers to my letters were slow in coming and information proved hard to get. I have gleaned all the information I could from all sources and have tried to compile it into book form. If there is anything left out or any mistakes, it is either lack of information or the wrong information sent to me. I trust that I shall be pardoned for any errors or omissions and that the book will be of some value to the Legion in Connecticut.
