Mills and meadows: A pictorial history of northeast Connecticut

by Bruce M. Stave, Michele Palmer, Lucy Bartlett Crosbie (Foreword)

The mills and meadows that form the landscape of NE CT, and impart its special character, are reminders of the industry and agriculture that once dominated the region. This beautiful pictorial history steps back into time, when textile manufacturing and farming flourished along the rivers and rolling hills of Tolland and Windham counties. The full spectrum of life in NE CT is presented: its schools and churches, sports and politics, main streets and town greens, trans and trolley cars, and the region's response to disasters and wars. But mainly it is the people who lived and worked here - Yankees and immigrants alike - who bring the pages of this community family album to life.
