From Our Travelling Correspondent, Woodstock, Connecticut
This county was originally settled by Germans from Pennsylvania, who were a plain, and industrious people, and thrifty farmers. In the early years they suffered many cruelties and hardships from the Indians and French. Colonel Peter Muhlenburg, afterwards a general in the Revolution, was a Lutheran minister, and distinguished himself by bravery and cool valor; he settled in this county from Pennsylvania, when quite young. The bones and skeletons of Indian giants of great size have been dug up in this county, comparing with those mentioned in Captain Smith’s history
