add to cart   close window

This article discusses issues related to the history of Windham County of Connecticut with specific reference to the book "History of Windham County, Connecticut," by Ellen D. Larned. The slow growth of tolerance is perhaps the most valuable, if it be not also the most striking, lesson of the later as of the earlier history of Windham County. However, earlier features were something otherwise. The outrage against Francis Green, of Boston, one of the addressers and adherents of Governor Thomas Hutchinson, led Colonel Eleazar Fitch, a French war veteran, high sheriff of the county, to assert "that the Windham people had acted like scoundrels in treating Green as they did."
