Muskets and Mansions the Greenwich, Connecticut Story $45.00
Daniel Knapp
Greenwich, Conn. Fairview printers, 1966
Table of Contents: Twentie Five Coats, Marriage, Morals, Boundary and the Bible, Redcoats and Renegades, Century of Contrasts, the Nation Divided, the Railroad, Residential Greenwich, Modern Greenwich, a Photographic Essay.
(From the end paper) in vivid prose and stunning pictures, Muskets and Mansions the Greenwich Story takes you through more than 300 years in the surprising history of one of America's wealthiest, most beautiful suburban towns. From the stark, simple but momentous scene on the opening pages, when the first settlers signed a deed with the Indians in July 1640, to the concluding chapter on the development of Greenwich is a residential and community; Muskets and Mansions carries you through a series of unexpected events brimming with drama, humor, irony, excitement, valor, love and tragedy. Here in forceful, narrative style, our episodes that will come alive for all readers-and come as a shock to many others: the massacre of a thousand Indians at Petuquapaen-present day Cos Cob... The banning of all-male members from the first Congregational Church in old Greenwich... The pillaging of Greenwich by 1500 British, Hessians and Tories... Agricultural Greenwich in the mid-19th century... The coming of the Railroad... The First Commuters... The Civil War Saga of I Company-manned by men of Greenwich... The story of villains like "boss" Tweed... Heroes like revolutionary General Israel Putnam... Civil War major Daniel Mead... World War I aviation pioneer Raynal Bolling. Adding to the dimensions of the narrative are more than 175 photographs of Greenwich as it was-and Greenwich as it is. You'll find the concluding photo essay on modern Greenwich-almost 100 pictures-unforgettable. Here, more clearly than any words can do it, is the Greenwich many believed to be the ideal community-the Greenwich that, like so much of America, could be buried by bulldozers, erased by erratic, fly-by-night developers. Muskets and Mansions, the Greenwich Story: a Rousing Readable Retelling of the past-and a Lesson for the Future.
