Produktbeschreibung
Centuries have flowed by since the first colonists settled on the banks of the Connecticut River, the 410-mile-long link between interior New England and the sea. This vivid narrative recalls years of boom and bust, turmoil and tranquility, as one era followed another in the river valley. Read of the remarkable number of breakthroughs that have been made along the Connecticut River--in shipbuilding, insurance, steamboats, railroads, higher education, and many other fields. And marvel at the roster of those in the arts and literature whose lives have been intertwined with this river valley: Mark Twain, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens, Childe Hassam, William Gillette, Noah Webster, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and Maxfield Parrish. All who know and love the Connecticut River will appreciate this affectionate tribute to the "Nile of New England." For over sixty years Globe Pequot Press has been at the forefront of the movement to save local history for future generations. In doing so we published countless valuable books local history, biography, architecture, antiques, genealogy and travel. Today we return to our roots and share these wonderful Globe Pequot Vintage books with our New England readers, with the hope that they will shed new light on our shared heritage.
