"Once Upon a Time in Connecticut" by Caroline Clifford Newton is a historical account that appears to have been written in the early 20th century. This work explores the early history of Connecticut, highlighting significant events, figures, and the daily lives of its colonists from the perspective of both the settlers and the Native Americans. The book offers insights into the founding of towns such as Hartford and New Haven as well as notable historical moments, such as the Pequot War. The opening portion introduces the concept of Connecticut's rich yet quiet past through anecdotes about significant characters and events, such as the dramatic fall of the Charter Oak and the arrival of the first English settlers led by figures like Thomas Hooker. We learn about daily colonial life, interactions with Indigenous tribes, and the establishment of government as settlers sought to create an independent society. The narrative hints at the struggles faced by this small colonial community, including conflict and survival in an often harsh environment, setting the stage for the detailed stories that follow in later chapters.

Reading ease score: 73.3 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
