Download or read book Vanished Downtown Hartford written by Daniel Sterner and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early nineteenth-century illustrations of Hartford, Connecticut, show church steeples towering over the Victorian homes and brownstone facades of businesses around them. The modern skyline of the town has lost many of these elegant steeples and their quaint and smaller neighbors. Banks have yielded to newer banks, and organizations like the YMCA are now parking lots. In the 1960s, Constitution Plaza replaced an entire neighborhood on Hartford's east side. The city has evolved in the name of progress, allowing treasured buildings to pass into history. Those buildings that survive have been repurposed--the Old State House, built in 1796, is one of the oldest and has found new life as a museum. Yet the memory of these bygone landmarks and scenes has not been lost. Historian Daniel Sterner recalls the lost face of downtown and preserves the historic landmarks that still remain with this nostalgic exploration of Hartford's structural evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colonial History of Hartford: Gathered From the Original Records, Illustrated The town of Hartford has passed the two hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of its settlement, and, in a few years, it will have completed three centuries of history. The early town that the founders knew has long since disappeared. Features that were familiar for generations have been swept away by the ravages of time. Only a few landmarks now remain. Within the area of what was formerly a country town, a large city has grown into vigorous life. To the sons and daughters of Hartford, the story of this development during colonial times, is of interest. It may also serve a patriotic purpose, by helping her citizens to maintain a fellowship with the forefathers, and by awakening in her children of foreign descent a loyal regard for her traditions. In the hope of rendering such a service to the city, for which the author confesses a strong personal affection, this volume has been written, in the course of a study of the records, extending over many years. Students of Connecticut records have occasionally acknowledged their doubt whether certain fundamental facts, which concern both our local history and the founding of the Colony, have been correctly conceived. Views have become current, and have been passed on from one authority to another, which appeal for their warrant largely to records that have been lost, and are not in harmony with those that are extant. Such is the opinion that three organized towns created the Commonwealth. The records prior to 1639 that have disappeared, were those of three plantations, which were constituted as such and bore the names of the three Massachusetts towns from which their inhabitants emigrated. We have, fortunately, the early records of Springfield, at first united with them, to disclose the nature of their government. Hartford, alone, has documentary evidence of any town organization before the Commonwealth was formally established.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... SETTLERS AND INHABITANTS. CHAPTER III. 1648-1800. The growth of the town of Hartford was, from the first, steady and sure. It received important accessions to the number of its inhabitants, families of education and means; and the work of building houses--new homes for souls at last free to order their lives as they would, --of clearing lands, making roads and bridges, went rapidly on. They broke up the fat soil of the meadows for their crops, and built mills with which to prepare lumber for their buildings, and to grind their grain for food. Amidst all their toil they had to be constantly watchful against the wily and treacherous Indians; and the momentous questions involved in the establishment of a new church and a new state had to be discussed and acted upon. It is not surprising that idleness and vagabondage were not encouraged at that time. With the increase of population came a demand for more territory, and houses were soon built upon this side the Cheat River. It is impossible to ascertain the names of all the early settlers upon this side, or the exact date of their building here. In May, 1653, the inhabitants were exempted from training with the west side towns, and ordered to meet on the east side, as Will: Hill shall appoint, and train there together, and so continue. This indicates a permanent population here at that time. Prom among the names upon the monument erected to the first settlers of Hartford in the old Center Burying Ground in that city, we take the following of those who either settled on this side the Great River, or who were associated with the early history of our territory: John Crow was one of the first settlers and one of the original proprietors of our soil. He was a large land-owner and lived near the..

Book excerpt: This 1879 narrative contains a wealth of information for anyone interested in seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth century history and lifestyles. Beginning with histories of the various local Indian tribes, it continues with the early white settlement in 1635, recording the names of the settlers and the establishment of meeting houses and businesses. It describes voting, the care of the poor, the pest house and inoculation, public houses and sale of liquors, burying grounds, church history, industries, schools, forts, whipping posts, roads, bridges and ferries, military affairs, old houses, and customs and laws, including "bachelors not tolerated," "excess in apparel forbidden," and "a case of witchcraft." The author researched DeForest's History of the Indians of Connecticut, the published volumes of the Colonial Records of Connecticut, manuscripts and files of the State library, and records in the Town Clerk's offices in Hartford and East Hartford.
