Which reminds me.... Didn't our neighbors in Connecticut do something like
this a decade ago? Turns out that after the records were microfilmed -
Colonial and Rev. War records - they were thrown in the garbage in plastic
bags. "Historians" scooped up the documents by the sack full.

And that is where the collection of Rev. War records sold on Ebay began.
