Samuel Huntington (1731-1796)

Gerlach, Larry R. Connecticut Congressman: Samuel Huntington 1731-1796. Bicen­tennial pamphlet XX (1977). Longest of the Bicentennial pamphlets, 142 pages, this constitutes a more ambitious undertaking than any of the other biographical contributions to the series. Gerlach, who wrote an excellent mas­ter's thesis on Connecticut during the Revolutionary era, has explored Huntington's life fully, emphasizing his political career. It is likely that this work will remain definitive for a long time.

Huntington, Susan D. "Samuel Huntington." Connecticut Magazine 6(1900)4:247-54. A brief introduction, photographs of Huntington's house and tomb, the text of several letters he wrote between 1778 and 1787.

Waugh, Albert Edmund. Samuel Huntington and his Family. Stonington, Conn.: Pequot Press, 1968. A slight work, but certainly not useless if Gerlach is not available.
