Doolittle, Amos 1754-1832
Engraver; born in Cheshire, Conn., in 1754; was self-educated; served an apprenticeship with a silversmith; and established himself as an engraver on copper in 1775.
While a volunteer in the camp at Cambridge (1775) he visited the scene of the skirmish at Lexington and made a drawing and engraving of the affair, which furnishes the historian with the only correct representation of the buildings around the Green at that time.
He afterwards made other historical prints of the time.
He died in New Haven, Conn., Jan. 31, 1832.
