Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Travels in New-England and New-York, Vol. 3 of 4 Groton. Account of the Pequods. War between the Colonists and that Tribe. Gallant Attach and Destruction of one of their Forts by Captain Mason and his Troops. Pursuit of the Pequods to Fairfield, and their final Destruction. Death of Sassacus. Dear Sir; Groton is a township, lying on the Thames about twelve miles, and on the Sound about six or seven. A tract, extending along the Sound through the whole breadth of the township, and another, a mile wide, along the Thames, extending through the whole length of the township, are rich and pleasant. The remainder is generally very stony, difficult of cultivation, and to a great extent forested. The soil of Groton is better fitted for grass than for grain. Several of the farms are cultivated by tenants. The inhabitants carry on some commerce upon the Thames, from the shore immediately opposite to New-London; and at Packer´s ferry on the Mystic, a mill-stream, which separates Groton from Stonington. At each of these places there is a small village. That which was opposite to New-London was principally burnt by the British troops in Arnold´s expedition. The damage was estimated at 78,390 dollars. It is now chiefly rebuilt. Throughout the rest of the township, plantations, thinly scattered, are formed in many places.
