This Connecticut Line CTSSAR Detachment portrays Colonel James Wadsworth's Connecticut Regiment during the year
1776.
During the re-organization of the Continental force before Boston, December 1775 - February 1776, when the soldiers
were coming and going, Washington called for regiments from the New England States to guard the lines at various points
until the new army had been well established. Connecticut sent three regiments under Colonel James Wadsworth, Erastus
Wolcott, and John Douglass. They reached Boston toward the end of January and remained about six weeks.
