Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Island has captured the imaginations of Milford residents and visitors for many years. The island's rich history gradually blurs as memories fade with time and eventually only the highlights are passed down from one generation to the next. An Historical Account of Charles Island seeks to accurately restore the island's history from its European discovery by Adriaen Block in 1614 to the 20th century. Included are the historical facts surrounding the mapping of Long Island Sound, legend of Captain Kidd's treasure, summer resorts in the mid-19th century, a prize fight gone out-of-control, the Aquinas Retreat, nearby shipwrecks, the island's place in naval and aviation history, a proposed nudist colony, and other forgotten stories. Seventy maps, woodcuts, old advertisements, manuscripts, portraits, and photographs provide a visual perspective of the island's history.

Download or read book New Milford written by Frances L. Smith and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Milford is located in western Connecticut, in the lower portion of Litchfield County. The original inhabitants of the area were the Potatuck who, along with other tribes, retreated as settlement of the region began--the first in the county being in Woodbury in 1672. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the land that later became New Milford was purchased from the Indians, and the first settler, John Noble, arrived from Massachusetts and built a home here in 1707. As the centuries progressed, so did the town. New Milford became a business center with many mills, shops, taverns, and other services. In stunning images and clear narrative, New Milford traces the history not only of the town itself but also of many of the families whose names are an integral part of the community, among them the Bostwicks, the Heacocks, and the Kings. The book follows the development of the town--its industry, such as New Milford Pottery, its educational facilities, such as Canterbury School, and its familiar places, such as the Wayside Inn.
Download or read book Milford written by Frank Juliano and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purchased for six coats, twelve iron axes, ten blankets, twelve hatchets, twelve hoes, two dozen knives, six mirrors and a kettle, the town of Milford has blossomed into one of Connecticut's most treasured places. Local journalist and historian Frank Juliano takes us through the incredible stories of his town, including a series of vignettes about famous Milford residents such as Simon Lake, whose technology led to the development of the modern submarine. From the American Revolution, when seventy-three men from Milford marched to Boston to fight in the famous Battle of Lexington and Concord, to the backyard pit of a local farmhouse that was surely a stop on the Underground Railroad, Milford has its roots firmly grounded in the bedrock of American history.
