Treasured Tales from the New England Shore

By James N. Littlefield

The "Treasured Tales" in this book are not the stuff of fluff and fantasy. They are real stories that come from the ground through archaeological finds and investigations. They come from diaries, local historical outlets, personal recollections, and word of mouth through the generations. They all come from the New England shoreline, mainly from the state of Connecticut and, more often than not, from the Connecticut town of East Lyme. The stories are entertaining and easy-to-read for young and old alike. The book acts as a story teller, which shares the stories of bygone days where local people, objects, and research come together in short, easy-to-read chapters that keep your attention. Because these stories have previously appeared as articles in two local newspapers in a "History Matters" column, they enjoy a proven track record. Many readers have expressed interest that these articles eventually be bound together to become more reference ready in book form so they will forever remain a part of our collective memory. "Treasured Tales from the New England Shore" is the result. The stories are real, the treasure spoken of is substantial.
