Groton and the Revolutionary War
Groton History Center Collection
At a January 1898 meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Dr. Samuel A. Green spoke to those assembled about a diary kept by Amos Farnsworth of Groton during his time in the Revolutionary War. The proceedings of this meeting and a transcription of the diary were published in Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Volume 12. In 1901 the diary was also included in Three Military Diaries Kept by Groton Soldiers in Different Wars by Samuel A. Green. The Groton History Center has an early copy of the diary that was made before its publication.
