Summary:
Weather brought a yellow day to the centennial celebration of the Battle of Groton Heights and the Fort Griswold massacre. The weather, for years, overshadowed the hour long speech of General Joseph Hawley but not the despised treachery of Benedict Arnold, nor the bravery of its defendors, nor the newly increased height of the Groton Mounument.
