 A
new compilation of historical records and interpretive essays that
reveals what life was like in Connecticut at the birth of our nation.
Published by
In the first decades
after winning independence from Great Britain, Americans sought
to describe their new republic both to themselves and to others.
To gather information for that effort, the newly chartered Connecticut
Academy of Arts and Sciences sent a questionnaire to the state's
107 towns in 1800.
Collected together for the first time, their stories reveal the
conditions in which these newly self-governing citizens lived, and
the methods they used to improve conditions.
