Sinopsis
Excerpt from More Notes From Underledge
The bed of the river here is only about one hundred and fifty feet above the level of the sea. The river is perhaps a hundred and fifty feet in width, but so closely bordered by trees that the surface of the water rarely shows from a distance, excepting here and there when the trees are bare The hills beyond the val ley rise in steep rounded slopes, and can be seen, tier beyond tier, for many miles, espe cially in the north-northwest, the most distant points visible in that direction being perhaps fourteen hundred feet in height, but the hori zon line is not far from a horizontal one which certainly befits such a line.

Excerpt from More Notes From Underledge
Tunxis Cepus, or Unxis Sepus, - "the village at the bend of the little river," - such was the name under which this place first appeared upon the written record. I am frequently impressed by the resemblances, and equally by the contrasts, between its situation and that of Selborne. Of the similarities, perhaps the strongest is "The Hanger," the belt of wood running along the ledge. At Selborne, however, this was composed of beech trees - "the most lovely of all forest trees," White calls them, and I quite agree with him. These we cannot rival. Directly behind the cottage I found one beech of moderate size, perhaps a foot in diameter near the root, which was being rudely treated by an uncouth chestnut that had stretched great arms around it, with a gesture rather aggressive than caressing.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book transports the reader back to the founding and early years of the Connecticut colony, a time of hardship and tribulation, yet also of great achievement and determination. The author takes the reader on a journey into the village of Tunxis, sharing the trials and triumphs of the early settlers, their conflicts with the powerful tribes that inhabited the land, and their struggles to establish a new society in the wilderness. The author draws heavily on the writings and observations of the Rev. Thomas Hooker, one of the most influential figures in the founding of Connecticut, to provide a deep understanding of the social, political, moral, and religious beliefs that guided the lives of these early Americans. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the birth of a nation and the human spirit that shaped it.
