Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIVDIVMore than 10,000 years ago, people settled on lands that now lie within the boundaries of the state of Connecticut. Leaving no written records and scarce archaeological remains, these peoples and their communities have remained unknown to all but a few archaeologists and other scholars. This pioneering book is the first to provide a full account of Connecticut’s indigenous peoples, from the long-ago days of their arrival to the present day./divDIV /divDIVLucianne Lavin draws on exciting new archaeological and ethnographic discoveries, interviews with Native Americans, rare documents including periodicals, archaeological reports, master’s theses and doctoral dissertations, conference papers, newspapers, and government records, as well as her own ongoing archaeological and documentary research. She creates a fascinating and remarkably detailed portrait of indigenous peoples in deep historic times before European contact and of their changing lives during the past 400 years of colonial and state history. She also includes a short study of Native Americans in Connecticut in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book brings to light the richness and diversity of Connecticut’s indigenous histories, corrects misinformation about the vanishing Connecticut Indian, and reveals the significant roles and contributions of Native Americans to modern-day Connecticut./divDIVDIV/div/div/div
Download or read book The Story of Connecticut Classic Reprint written by Lewis Sprague Mills and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Connecticut Our patriotism is likely to begin, if it begins at all, in childhood. It usually springs from the child's natural love for his own home. In any case it cannot be directly taught. The teacher, the writer, and the parent have done all that they can in this way when they have awakened the child's interest in the things that lie nearest about him. I am glad for the children of Connecticut that they have so good a book as this one, by Lewis Sprague Mills, a.m, from which to learn about their State. They will find the book simple, clear, warm-hearted, and full of knowledge about the times, long ago, when Connecticut too was young. Another thing they will discover is that Mr. Mills under stands children and knows how to keep them interested in the story he has to tell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of New England soldiers who perished in this bloody battle, based on their diaries and letters. The Battle of Antietam, in September 1862, was the single bloodiest day of the Civil War. In the intense conflict and its aftermath across the farm fields and woodlots near Sharpsburg, Maryland, more than two hundred men from Connecticut died. Their grave sites are scattered throughout the Nutmeg State, from Willington to Madison and Brooklyn to Bristol. Here, author John Banks chronicles their mostly forgotten stories using diaries, pension records, and soldiers’ letters. Learn of Henry Adams, a twenty-two-year-old private from East Windsor who lay incapacitated in a cornfield for nearly two days before he was found; Private Horace Lay of Hartford, who died with his wife by his side in a small church that served as a hospital after the battle; and Captain Frederick Barber of Manchester, who survived a field operation only to die days later. This book tells the stories of these and many more brave Yankees who fought in the fields of Antietam. Includes photos

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1852 Excerpt: ...of 1676 may be assigned. Mr. Carpenter lived at Niantic Ferry, of which he had a lease from Edward Palmes. He left an only son, David, baptized Nov. 12th, 1682, and several daughters. His relict married William Stevens, of Killingworth. Alexander Pygan, died in 1701. On his first arrival in the plantation, Mr. Pygan appears to have been a lawless young man, of " passionate and distempered carriage," as it was then expressed; one who we may suppose " left his country for his country's good." But the restraints and influences with which he was here surrounded, produced their legitimate effect, and he became a discreet and valuable member of the community. Alexander Pygan, of Norwich, Old England, was married unto Judith, daughter of William Redfin, (Redfield, ) June 17th, 1667. Children. 1. Sarah, born Feb. 23d, 1669-70; married Nicholas Hallam. 2. Jane, " Feb., 1670-1; married Jonas Green. Mrs. Judith Pygan died April 30th, 1678. After the death of his wife, Mr. Pygan dwelt a few years at Saybrook, where he had a shop of goods, and was licensed by the county court as an innkeeper. Here also he married an estimable woman, Lydia, relict of Samuel Boyes, April 15th, 1684. Only one child was the issue of this marriage. 3. Lydia, born Jan. 10th, 16S4-5; married Rev. Eliphalet Adams. Samuel Boyes, the son of Mrs. Lydia Pygan, by her first husband, was bom Dec. 6th, 1673. Mr. Pygan soon returned with his family to New London, where he died in the year 1701. He is the only person of the family name of Pygan, that the labor of genealogists has as yet brought to light in New England. His relict, Mrs. Lydia Pygan, died July 20th, 1734. She was the daughter of William and Lydia Bemont, of Saybrook, and born March 9 th, 1644.1 1 Her mother is said...
Download or read book Major League Baseball in Gilded Age Connecticut written by David Arcidiacono and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-12-03 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's been more than a century since Connecticut had big league baseball, but in the 1870s, Middletown, Hartford, and New Haven fielded professional teams that competed at the highest level. By the end of the decade, when the state's final big league team, Mark Twain's beloved Hartford Dark Blues, left the National League, baseball's transition from amateur pastime to major league sport had been accomplished. And Connecticut had played a significant role in its development. The history of the Nutmeg State's three major league teams is described here in full, and the author thoughtfully examines their influence within the regional baseball scene.
Download or read book The Story of the American Legion in Connecticut Classic Reprint written by Bernard H. Matthies and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the American Legion in Connecticut The National Convention in Minneapolis and other work prevented my doing very much toward writing a history. Then, when I did start, I found that hardly a record had been kept of anything that was done before the October' convention. This necessitated a lot of letter writ ing, and a tr1p or two to headquarters at Hartford. Answers to my letters were slow in coming and information proved hard to get. I have gleaned all the information I could from all sources and have tried to compile it into book form. If there is anything left out or any mistakes, it is either lack of information or the wrong information sent to me. I trust that I shall be pardoned for any errors or omissions and that the book will be of some value to the Legion in Connecticut.
