Hidden History of Connecticut - Paperback

by Wilson H. Faude (Author)

Connecticut's history is full of engaging and fascinating stories, rocks that are national monuments, the people's sculptor, football players on chapel finials, moons on the Travelers calendars, artists Frederic Church and Eric Sloane and even a Thanksgiving Day touch football game with a future president.

These are tales from Greenwich to Enfield, from Sharon to Old Lyme and so much in between. Follow along with historian Wilson Faude in this must-have Connecticut book as he traverses the state in search of hidden history.
