Griswold Publishes Book, A History of the Connecticut River

Wick Griswold, associate professor of sociology in Hillyer College, has published a book titled A History of the Connecticut River (The History Press).

The book takes readers on a journey down one of America’s most famous waterways—the Connecticut River. "Its calm waters conceal an unruly past, where native tribes lost ground to Dutch and English colonists who vied for the river’s immense economic power," according to a book description from the publisher. "Many have found a deep inspiration along the river, including Lady Fenwick, a local legend; David Bushnell, creator of the first American submarine; and even Albert Einstein, who contemplated the cosmos while relaxing on the riverbanks."

You can read more about the book, and order it, on Amazon.com and on The History Press website.  There is also a Facebook fan page for the book.
