CONNECTICUT, 1614-1776: Voices from Colonial America

Although the Dutch first explored the Connecticut River in 1614, it was a group of disgruntled Puritans from Massachusetts Bay Colony who carved out the true beginnings of this small, but gutsy, New England colony. Through archival images, eye-witness accounts, and carefully researched narrative, readers will learn the framework of Connecticut's first government. Ages 10-14. Well illustrated, most in color.
