Every place on earth has a name. Never noticed the place-names in
your town? Then take a look at these tales; you'll learn some
things about where you live. These stories are about a rural
Connecticut town settled in the 1700s. Place-names are
everywhere-on rivers, roads, brooks, hills, buildings, parks,
cemeteries, nature preserves, even rocks. The names are from
Englishmen, Indians, plants, animals, battles, the Bible, hell,
heroes, celebrities, and just plain folks. Place-names are strange
creatures, but they all reveal the history, culture, and
eccentricities of people who passed through-even in your town.
Rummage around these tales if you're a librarian, historian,
geographer, genealogist, traveler, or resident of this planet.
