Hidden History of New London & Norwich

By Evan Brown

New London and Norwich are small cities that pride themselves on a wealth of history - yet many of their most interesting tales are the most obscure.

From colonial beginnings along Connecticut's Thames River to their heyday as bustling port and manufacturing centers, these two cities have always attracted an assortment of radicals, rebels, and eccentrics. Among them are the Puritan alchemist who wrote to his wife in code, the unsung Mohegan founder of Dartmouth College and the Black entrepreneur who braved the Underground Railroad. Outspoken abolitionist sisters from a slaveholding family and a Confederate general buried near Union soldiers are just a few of the many unique characters found here

Author Evan E. Brown provides a captivating journey into the unseen side of this fascinating region.
