Book description
Milo Todd was not content with his future lot in life. Having inherited his family gristmill in the tiny village of Northford, he lived at a time of dynamic economic change during the latter half of the 19th Century and spent his life determined to be part of it. The quest to do so would bring Todd on a journey across Connecticut as he sought his place in that rapidly transforming world.The historical landscape created in following Milo's journey takes us from a forgotten Native village on the shore of Long Island Sound at the dawn of the 17th Century to Hartford, a frenetic and bustling hub of 19th Century New England capitalism. In the process, that landscape presents a panoramic look at our collective past that illustrates who we were as a people and thus who we are today. By exploring Todd's odyssey as well as stories and episodes from the times and places in which he and his family lived, Seeing the Past; Stories on the Trail of a Yankee Millwright vividly brings the past to life and connects us with the often forgotten shadows of our shared history. In doing so, we gain a better understanding of how, through time and place, in seeing the past, we see ourselves.
