He could do, and did do, nearly everything from his share of populating New England to mending a broken gun, building and running a mill and serving as a town official. Being a millwright, the proprietors gave him the waterpower on Sugar River and two acres of land for a mill yard, on condition that he build a mill and maintain it for ten years. Benjamin Tyler was born in Wallingford, Connecticut, in February, 1732, where he married Mahitabel Andrews, and later moved to Farmington, where his seven children were born. In the spring of 1767, he came to Claremont and in the summer following he built a dam on the river at West Claremont, which later became the site of the Jarvis dam. This was the first mill dam in the town. In the spring of 1768, having returned to Farmington, he started on an ox-sled over the snow and the ice on the Connecticut River, with his family and household goods for Claremont. While on the way to Claremont he was honored by his future fellow townsmen by being elected as one of the selectmen. The Tylers were snow-bound for several days at Montague, Massachusetts, and that fact demonstrated his ingenuity referred to, as he paid for the board and lodging of himself and his family at the tavern in Montague, by making a pair of cartwheels for the landlord. In the summer of 1768, Mr. Tyler built a gristmill and a sawmill on the north bank of Sugar River, and then began to grind grain for the settlers in Claremont and for many miles about, the grists being brought to his mill on the backs of the farmers. He also sawed lumber and built, or superintended the building of, many of the first framed houses and barns in the town. The house he built for himself was the largest in town at that time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valley Towns of Connecticut The Connecticut Valley is a very thankful object for such studies. It is really a double valley, being divided into two unequal parts by the chain of trap ridges which extends from New Haven'to Holyoke and beyond. The valley east of the ridges has the present river; it will therefore be designated by the name of River Valley. The valley west of the ridges has at present no connected watercourse; its line of lowest depression is divided up among several smaller watercourses running in different directions but leading practically nowhere. According to its drainage it may be divided into two parts in its turn: the northern part, generally speaking, drains into the Connecticut by way of the Farmington River, and its southern limit is, approximately, the town of Cheshire; we shall designate it as the Farmington Valley. The southern part drains into the Sound by various small rivers converging more or less toward New Haven, and it will be called the New Haven Valley (fig. I). This natural division into an eastern, or River Valley, western, or Farmington Valley, and southern, or. New Haven Valley, we shall find repeated in. The political history of the Valley settlements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New England's Connecticut River meanders 410 miles south from the Canadian border to Long Island Sound. After thousands of years of peaceful habitation by Indigenous people came 400 years of development around European settlements, farmsteads, shipping ports, and manufacturing mills. Farmers, boatbuilders, quarrymen, and industrialists benefitted from the river valley's fertile plains, geological resources, and waterpower. Ready access to markets at Boston, New York, the West Indies, and Europe fueled the growth of the valley's towns and major cities such as Hartford and Springfield. The valley has been home to consequential social reformers, authors, and intellectuals. Its bucolic settings attracted artists who came to the renowned colonies at Cornish and Lyme, steamboat tourists, and urban transplants with modern lifestyles. The most important houses they built--many of which are designated national historic landmarks and open to the public--and some newly discovered properties are highlighted here for their architectural significance and rich historical associations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Towns of New England If one will walk about New England towns one will find in each a church, a town-house, and a school, and in most of them a railroad station and a factory. In the majority of them there will also be a public library, small perhaps and usually housed in the town-house, but open to all, and supported from the public funds. In the larger towns, especially in those where manufacturing is a prominent factor in the communal prosperity, a hospital, supported by public taxation, is open to all. In almost every town there is a grass-covered, tree-shaded common, which serves as a village or town park, and on it usually stand memorial tablets or statues testifying to the valor of the dead who went forth to fight in the War of the Revolution or in the Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Connecticut River Reeds: Blown by the "Peasant Bard" The greater part of his life was passed in the town of his birth, Gill, on the Connecticut River, a locality where Nature has done much to make beautiful the Surroundings of the rural homes clustered among the hills that margin the winding course of the river. Its quiet scenes of changing foliage and moving life in woods and field were a constant inspiration to him. His cares, pertaining to farm life, together with duties imposed by public trusts in town and county, were many, but with all he found time to jot down in poetic form thoughts which-came to him, colored and made beautiful by his intense love of Nature's work, never losing Sight of a Divine Power controlling all. The rugged and picturesque beauty of Mr. Canning's poetry has given it a place in the hearts of its readers, and is loved by the people who live along his much-loved river, as the poems of Whittier are loved by the people of the Merrimac Valley.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... XXIX Hartford to the Sea Down the River by Steamboat -- Old Dutch Point -- Wetherefield back from the Meadows -- The Glaatonburys--Rocky Hill and Cromwell--Portland and Middletown at the Great Bend--The College City -- Wealeyan University and Berkeley Divinity School -- John Fiske in Middletown -- The Straits -- The Chatham Hills -- Historic Mines -- "The Governor's Gold Ring"--The Lymes and the Haddams -- The Field Family -- Brainard the Missionary to the Indians -- Essex -- At the River's Mouth. THE steamboats of the " Hartford Line," for lower-river landings and by the Sound to New York, sail from the site of the ancient Landing in Hartford, at the foot of State Street. On the way to the pier one will observe a few old warehouses suggestive of the West India trade of ships that have passed. But he must imagine the old wharves lined with vessels, "often three or four deep," when Hartford was the head of sloop navigation; the heaps of hogsheads of sugar, rum, and molasses covering them; the fleet of flatboats loading for the up-river voyage. Quiet now pervades the River front. Occasionally a fussy tow-boat or a string of slow-moving freight barges ruffles the river surface. A low-cut pleasure steamer for excursions may enliven the scene; and gayety is added by trim naphtha launches. The Sound steamboat appears quite a leviathan among this river-craft. She glides off from her dock in the late afternoon with a gentle movement as if reluctant to disturb the prevailing serenity, and as gently proceeds on the down-river course. From the vantage of the upper deck the eye takes in both sides of the River as the steamer placidly drops down stream. Old Dutch Point appears occupied by the yard and ways of the transportation company which operates...
