"In this book we have tried to tell something of the story (of man's quest for liberty) as it is reflected in the minds and hearts of the people of Ridgefield. Ridgefield was a living, growing community when the Declaration of Independence came. Ridgefield played a unique part in events that led to the creation of that momentous document. And Ridgefield played a unique part in subsequent events that translated the idea of Independence, as expressed in the Declaration, into a new reality. Insofar as possible, we have told the story in the words of people who were there, who lived and worked and advanced the building of the new nation." - from the foreward.
