Reference list on Connecticut local history

By Charles Allcott Flagg

Book Overview

If Connecticut history is your obsession, start here. Clear, practical, indispensable. Charles A. Flagg's Reference list on Connecticut local history is a local history bibliography built for real discovery: the kind you can open at any point and leave with a trail to follow. Part historical reference guide, part research sourcebook, it draws together the printed record of Connecticut town histories, colonial Connecticut records, and the wider world of Connecticut New England history. Whether you are tracing family lines, mapping a community's changing borders, or simply trying to find the best starting point for a topic, this American historical bibliography helps you move from curiosity to credible sources with confidence. It is equally at home on the desk of a researcher and in the hands of anyone who enjoys new England local history as lived experience rather than legend. More than a catalogue, it captures how knowledge was organised and preserved in 19th century Connecticut and beyond, reflecting the work of Connecticut historical societies and the libraries that sustained them. For genealogy research resources, for librarians planning library collection development, and for readers who want a trustworthy compass through early state and town writing, Flagg offers a focused route into the archive without the noise. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
