The E-Sylum: Volume 02, Number 45, November 7, 1999, Article 7HIGLEY HISTORY BOOKBack in the September 27, 1999 issue of COIN World, a letter to the Editor by Christopher S. Riley, Chief Guide at the Old New-Gate Prison and Copper Mine Museum in East Granby, CT, mentioned a book which should be of interest to collectors of U.S. Colonial coinage. The letter commented favorably on subscriber Dan Friedus' August 23rd article on Higley coppers. The museum honors America's first chartered copper mine (1707), and Connecticut's first colonial prison (1773), used by the Continental Congress. "We also carry copies of William Donovel's 1998 history of "New Gate," which has an informative chapter on Dr. Samuel Higley, his mine, and his tokens."
