In March, 1876, the U. S. Congress passed a joint resolution recommending
throughout the republic a general observance of this hundredth
anniversary of our national independence, and that, in addition
to the usual observances, each county and town cause an historical
sketch of said county or town, from its foundation to the present day,
to be prepared, and that a copy of it be filed in the clerk's office of
the county, as also in the office of the librarian of congress, to the intent
that a complete record may thus be obtained of the progress of
our institutions during the first centennial of their existence.
This resolution was approved by President Grant on March 13,
and he issued his proclamation to this effect, further recommending
that the governor of each state and territory also issue a like proclamation
to the people of said state or territory, that notice might thus be
brought directly to the mass of the people.
