Treasures at The Hagaman

In keeping with the Connecticut Treasures Project (see the 12/18/09 post) and the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the library has some treasures of it's own to present on this blog.

Below is an 1863 letter calling up Hiram Jacobs of East Haven to military service.

It will be interesting to see if any further information on this individual can be found in either the library or the Historical Society.
