This book focuses on the history of Woodstock, Connecticut, providing insights into the town's founding, growth, and the lives of its early settlers. Bowen presents the socio-political dynamics of the time, illustrating how the town was shaped by the influences of the Puritan migration and interactions with Native American populations. In this work, Bowen chronicles the early settlement of Woodstock by residents from Roxbury, detailing their endeavors to establish a community in the Nipmuck territory. He narrates significant events such as the transformation from New Roxbury to Woodstock, the establishment of churches and educational institutions, and the town’s military contributions during various conflicts, including King Philip's War and the American Revolutionary War. The book emphasizes the strong sense of community among the settlers, their struggles, and their commitment to religious freedom, while also reflecting on Woodstock's notable figures and the implications of its connections to broader historical narratives in New England.
