Excerpt from Sixty Years' Recollections of Milford: And Its Chronology From 1637 Up to and Including 1916

In these memorable times, when the great war, the Armageddon of nations, is being fought out relentlessly at the crossroads of destiny, this brief page in the life of our community has been completed. But, however unimportant the town of Milford may seem to those of the world who have travelled in other lands, or visited the great cities of the United States, it must be remembered that the settlement of Milford, like that of the rest of New England, was prompted by a love of liberty so sincere, so deep and impelling, that though broad seas had to be crossed, in what today would be called cockle-shells of ships, and a wilderness had to be explored, inhabited by wild and savage tribes, the early pioneers, imbued with a holy faith in their ideals, and an iron resolution to succeed, faced these dangers with stout hearts and undaunted minds.

To them, a new land was preferable to one in which their rights were withheld, even though the dangers to be faced were such as to make the strongest and most capable fear the end. It was an adventure in which only rugged personalities engage, if the ideals held in view are great enough to overcome the terrors of the flesh, through the strength of their appeal to the spirit. The early settlers sought for a liberty in the wilds that was denied them in the cities of men. They sought to establish justice under the free skies of uncharted shores, because it was not given to them by the courts of the land they left. It was this sacrifice on their part that gave to American civilization its ever-enduring greatness, based upon the right to be free and the belief in justice.

It is not difficult to understand, therefore, that the reasons leading to this strange pilgrimage of men and women from the land of their birth were those of power and privilege unjustly established in high places.
