This volume spans 65 years of life in New London: from the 1850s, when the Whaling City earned its reputation, to the days before World War I, when the last whaler had departed and the first submarine... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The book when received opened many memories for me. Growing up in nearby Niantic I always gazed at the old buildings and wondered how wonderful the city must have been. The book covers most of the great buildings of New London and clearly showed how important the city was, the people that lived there and what revitalization did to ruin the cities proud past. A wonderful book to sit and look back and open up your mind to how things were...and how you wish they were still.
