Background of the Caleb Adams Manuscript
   This site was inspired by a volume of miscellaneous sermons and orations from Connecticut. Originally the volume was property of a church library in Bridgeport, Connecticut. At some point in the 1900's it came into the personal library of Professor Drost (a history professor?) of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Sometime around 1980 the volume came into the personal library of my family (the Vos family). In addition to the documents concerning Caleb Adams, in contains an oration in George Washington's memory by Nehemiah Waterman and a history of the town of Windham, Connecticut, plus many other sermons and orations of regional interest.
