When he passed through Connecticut, in June, 1781, on his way from Newport, Rhode Island, to Yorktown, Virginia, he set up his camp right down the street from me. He entertained his officers at one of our local taverns. Every once in a while, somebody digs up some Revolutionary War artifact at the encampment site.
Once somebody found an old metal whistle with "Mark T. DeNucci, Sr." engraved on the whistle. Really.
