Editorial Reviews

Review

“Thank you to Diana McCain for these twenty-five forays into the big house of Connecticut history. Her writing is clear and the episodes well chosen. Taken together, they prove that what I didn’t know about my own state could fill a book.”
  —Charles Monagan, editor of Connecticut Magazine and author of Connecticut Icons

From the Back Cover

From a hostile takeover, colonial style, to the first lady governor who was never a governor’s lady, It Happened in Connecticut tells the stories of intriguing people and events from the history of the Nutmeg State.
 
Find out where that dubious Nutmegger nickname originated. Discover what a Windsor boardinghouse owner did to inspire the dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace. And be inspired by Abby Smith and her cows—a roller coaster ride of a story from the early days of the women’s suffrage movement.
