Download or read book Revolution in the Lymes From the New Lights to the Sons of Liberty written by Jim Lampos and Michaelle Pearson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Revolutionary War in the Lymes started as a rebellion of ideas. From its origins in the Cromwellian Saybrook Colony, Lyme (today's Lyme, Old Lyme, East Lyme and Salem) prospered under the free hand of self-governance and spurned King George III's efforts to rein in the wayward colonies. In 1765, Reverend Stephen Johnson wrote incendiary missives against the Stamp Act. A few years later, the town hosted its own Tea Party, burning one hundred pounds of British tea near the town green. When the alarm came from Lexington in 1775, Lyme's citizens were among the first to answer. Historians Jim Lampos and Michaelle Pearson explore how local Patriots shaped an epic revolt.
Download or read book Old Lyme Lyme and Hadlyme written by Kathryn Burton and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003-08-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where the Connecticut River empties into Long Island Sound, a community that eventually became known as Lyme was settled in 1639. The community ran up the eastern riverbank to what is now East Haddam, along the Sound to Niantic, and into parts of Salem. In time, Lyme was divided into small towns and villages: Old Lyme, Lyme, Hadlyme, Hamburg, Sterling City, South Lyme, and the coastal communities. Old Lyme, Lyme, and Hadlyme is a compelling tribute to an area that is extraordinary in many ways: for its people, many of whom were attorneys, judges, legislators, and governors; for its commerce, which brought ships from up and down the East Coast and as far away as the West Indies; and for its beautiful homes, some of which survive today thanks to a strong preservation ethic.

Download or read book East Lyme written by Kathryn Burton and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Lyme has historically been shaped by the water. In the late 1800s, city residents seeking a quiet summer escape discovered East Lyme, and cottages, businesses, and hotels were quickly built to meet their needs. East Lyme portrays two parts of the town: Flanders, the inland farming and weaving mill community, and Niantic, the coastal village on Long Island Sound. Pictured are the grand hotels-the Morton House, the Colonial Inn, and the Golden Spur with its diving horses and dancing. Scenes include the soldiers of the bicycle corps at Camp Niantic in 1887, elegant seaside picnics with women in long white dresses and large-brimmed hats, and destruction from the Hurricane of 1938.
