Excerpt from Rural Life in Litchfield County
In many places in the county will be found extensive, low, peaty tracts of land, that once represented lake areas, but which have been filling in for thousands of years by the slow growth and decay of vegetation. In some instances such areas still have a small lake or pond near the center, as in the case of Beeslick Pond in Salis bury. During the slow processes of time, water-weeds crept into these old lakes, peat moss and bushes reached out from the shallow water at the edge, and in the course of many years the lake was transformed into a mere bog, rich in all kinds of botanical treasures. After many more years, as the outcome of changes due to tillage and drainage, it may have become a good piece of mowing land.

Excerpt from Rural Life in Litchfield County
In the northwest corner of the State of Connecticut are twenty-six towns, one for each letter in the alphabet, and taken together they constitute Litchfield County. It is the largest county in the State, the area being about 885 square miles. It was organized in 1751 as the fifth county in the State, although it had been settled many years before. Within the bounds of the county are found the highest land, the greatest lake area, the most rugged scenery, and some of the richest agricultural lands of the State. The highest point of land was for a long time a matter of dispute, but that designation is now given to Bear Mountain, in the town of Salisbury.
