This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Connecticut Historical Collections, Containing a General Collection of Interesting Facts, Traditions, Biographical Sketches, Anecdotes, Relating to the History and Antiquities of Every Town in Connecticut: With Geographical Descriptions Though small in territorial extent and population, Connecticut is second to none of her sister states in the virtue, genius and enterprise of her sons. Considering the amount of her population, she has furnished a large proportion of distinguished men in almost every department of life, and some of the most powerful states in this Union are largely indebted to her for the elements of their greatness and prosperity. The early history of Connecticut, in its various parts, has been ably written by Dr. Trumbull, the venerable historian of his native state. To this work the author is deeply indebted, as he is also to the Gazetteer of Connecticut and Rhode Island, by John C. Pease and John M. Niles, Esqs., a work of much labor and merit. For the account of the towns in Middlesex County, Field's Statistical Account has fur hished much valuable information. The extracts from the most ancient newspapers were taken from files of the New Haven journals, the earliest and only copies, it is believed, that are now in existence. These journals are in the valuable library left by the late 001. William Lyon, a distinguished antiquarian, and are now in possession of his son, William Lyon, Esq. A gentleman to whom the compiler feels himself un der lasting obligations. To the various gentlemen in different parts of his native state, who have furnished information for this work, the author would here return his grate ful acknowledgments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Connecticut River: And the Valley of the Connecticut, Three Hundred and Fifty Miles From Mountain to Sea The story of the Connecticut River and the Valley of the Connecticut is so mingled with the history of the country, and particularly of the formative periods, that in the proper telling of it much of history must also be related. Accordingly in the following pages there will be found blended with descriptions of the longest river in New England and one of the fairest valleys in the country, narrations of Indian and colonial wars; of the establishment or evolution of democratic government; of the pioneer development of internal improvements and of industries; of the planting and upbuilding of many and varied institutions of learning, colleges, academies, and schools, for higher education - more than on any other river in the world - and withal of the growth and unfolding of the genuine American character. In the study of my subject, besides consulting the various histories, colonial, state, county, and town, bearing upon it, historical monographs, family papers, diaries, and contemporary narrative, I have gone, so far as they were accessible, to original authorities.

This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public and Semi-Public Lands of Connecticut In this report no attempt has been made to map or study land used exclusively for sites for public buildings or such lands as may have reverted to towns for non-payment of taxes - the latter being usually held only for sale. In all probability certain other small areas have been omitted because no report of their existence has been received. Only such land leased for public purposes is discussed or shown on the map as is under such long lease as to be practically publicly owned. Map 13 has been prepared from information supplied by the various public agencies, institutions and corporations owning or having charge of the lands in question. These data were first plotted on the topographic sheets of the United States Geological Survey and then redrafted on a base map of the State to the scale of 1 to Further reduction for publication purposes has been effected by printing and engraving processes to a scale of 1 to This amounts to about one inch to four miles, a square inch of map surface covering approximately acres. Areas given in the various tables are in part from planimeter measure ments made upon the topographic sheets and in part from data supplied by those having the lands in charge or from reports of the State Tax Commissioner.' In nearly all cases-the source, and where known the date of acreage is mentioned. General notes at the head of the tables indicate procedure used in compilation of statistical material.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Connecticut as a Colony and as a State, or One of the Original Thirteen, Vol. 1 The above may be thought a rhetorical extravaganza. Those will hardly take that View who recall how the men of Connecticut, under a monarch whose councillors thought democracy the one evil from which all others arise, exchanged a worthless quitclaim based on a non-existent grant for a char ter of utter democracy, with another colony thrown in for good measure; how, having beyond expectation led his mar tinet successor to drop the suit for vacating it, they balked the king's agent from canceling it, and thus, leaving the Whole business hanging in air, waited firmly intrenched till.

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: Excerpt from A History of Connecticut To those who may think I have given undue attention to the period of the French wars, I would commend the words of Dr. Bushnell, in his Historical Estimate of Connecticut, where he says, We are accustomed to speak of the wars of the Revolution; but these earlier wars, so little remembered, were far more adventurous, and required stouter endurance. The facts contained in this volume have been gathered from many sources. Besides a large number of town and county narratives, I have constantly consulted the his tories of Trumbull, Hollister, Barber, Atwater, Palfrey, Bancroft and Lodge. I desire, however, in this connec tion, to make special mention of the published volumes of the Colonial Records of the State, which have made available the most valuable and exact sources of historical information. Connecticut has been fortunate in the ser vices rendered by J. Hammond Trumbull, LL.D., and Mr. Charles J. Hoadly, in editing these records.
